More About This Recipe

  • The best dinner is the one that takes only a little time to make but tastes so good that everyone is gazing around for seconds. And I am not talking about tasting good for a quick-cook dish. I am talking about honestly, really truly, undeniably good. Good because it is good. I mean really, whether you have 15 minutes to cook or  3 hours, flavor is always king.

    Meet Bruschetta Chicken. It’s that dish, and it’s good. This is my little ace in a hole – a super fast, super flavorful, super crave-worthy dish that everyone loves.

    The recipe is simple. Season thin chicken breasts with salt and pepper and then brown them in a little olive oil. While they’re cooking, whip up the simplest, fastest bruschetta using Muir Glen No Salted Added Diced Tomatoes, garlic, parsley and balsamic vinegar.

    Once the chicken is cooked, let it go a little longer with the bruschetta on top. It warms the bruschetta, and also infuses the chicken with great flavor.

    When all is said and done, this takes maybe 15 minutes to make and has a rich, bright, fresh tomato-y flavor to it.

    Be sure to add some sides to this dish, such as rice pilaf, a salad and bread. That makes it a meal (and a fabulous one at that).
