Chicken is so versatile as it is and this one gives chicken that extra something that takes it to a whole new level. I love bruschetta when I go to an Italian restaurant, so making a bruchetta chicken sounded fantastic. Now even though the chicken doesn’t look all that appetizing in the plastic bag, don’t let that deter you. Once all the ingredients are put together, this is one amazing meal. And who doesn’t like a little cheese on top too?

This bruschetta chicken was a hit with the hubby although he didn’t add the tomatoes to his piece. I served it with fresh broccoli for a well rounded nutritious meal.
