Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F

Balsamic Glaze: (you can use store-bought or this recipe)

  • (If making from scratch, prepare while the chicken is cooking.) Combine sugar (if using) and vinegar in a small saucepan over high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low; allow to simmer for 5-8 minutes or until mixture has thickened and reduced to a glaze. (If not using sugar, allow to reduce for 12-15 minutes on low heat).

Notes

Bruschetta Chicken

This Bruschetta Chicken will knock your socks off with its fresh bold flavors.  It turns the delicious taste of the family favorite Bruschetta appetizer into a wholesome meal that comes together quickly and is a crowd favorite.
This recipe is full of fresh flavors and simple to make.  Although I do not recommend freezing this before cooking, you can save time by prepping the tomato mixture the night before or buying pre-diced tomatoes which are available in many grocery stores in the refrigerated produce section.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
