Baked Bruschetta Chicken

This Easy Baked Bruschetta Chicken recipe is tender and full of flavour. It’s a dump-and-bake meal that is perfect for any night of the week.

One peek through my recipes here at My Organized Chaos, and you notice that we love easy recipes and simple family meals that make an easy weeknight meal.

My all-time favourites are those that aren’t complicated or time-consuming, and especially ones that kids are able to make themselves.

There’s definitely something to admire about quick dinners that make you feel like a chef, by your own taste or the compliments from others.

I like to prove that a tasty meal that almost takes you by surprise, can be so very simple. A perfect example is our French Onion Chicken Bake.

This, my friends, is one perfect example of such a recipe that you’ll want to make often as your main dish.

As the name would suggest, the stars of this dish is bruschetta and chicken.

With such great flavours of bruschetta and melted mozzarella cheese on top and infused onto the juicy chicken breasts, you get such tender chicken as a result.

While you could make your own homemade bruschetta, this time of year I tend to buy jars from the grocery store instead.

As a bonus, jarred bruschetta is usually packed with enough spice to stand on its own.

The ingredients in bruschetta is tomato, garlic, onion, basil, salt, and pepper in a base of olive oil.

Some jarred brands have balsamic vinegar in them, which is an ingredient that puts this taste over the top. If you are opting for jarred and it doesn’t have this, sprinkle some on top before serving.

Ingredients Required

This easy chicken dinner requires only a few ingredients and hardly any prep time. As always the full recipe for this bruschetta chicken bake is on the printable recipe card at the end of this post.

Chicken – I like to use boneless skinless chicken breasts, though you can also use chicken thighs as well.

Black Pepper – to taste

Bruschetta – For simplicity, I use store bought bruschetta. It comes in a jar or some grocers make their own in the deli section.

Mozzarella Cheese – I don’t usually substitute cheese in this recipe.

Fresh Basil – You can’t beat the taste of fresh, yet you can use dried basil in a pinch.

Balsamic Vinegar – This is optional, and it’s for a drizzle.

How to Make Easy Bruschetta Chicken

This dump and bake recipe couldn’t possibly be easier.

While the oven is preheating, spray a baking dish with non-stick spray. Place chicken breasts in the casserole dish and add pepper for taste.

Dump a jar of the bruschetta topping (the tomato mixture) on top of the chicken, along with some shredded mozzarella cheese.

Pop it into the preheated oven, and when it’s done, garnish with some chopped basil and balsamic vinegar (if desired). Voila!

Tips for Success

• Replace store bought bruschetta with your own homemade bruschetta if you’d like.
• Check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast, checking the internal temperature.
• You can also grill this recipe!

What To Serve With Bruschetta Chicken

I like to serve this with a fresh garden salad, Roasted Red Potatoes, our easy homemade bread, or even rice.

To store bruschetta chicken leftovers, place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
