Here’s how to make it:
How to Make Grilled Bruschetta Chicken
INGREDIENTS –
for the chicken:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
for the bruschetta:
- 4 Roma tomatoes – diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS –
Preheat the Grill:
Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Chicken:
Pound the chicken to 1-inch thickness, then set aside.
Seasoning:
In a large bowl combine oil, Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper. Add the chicken and coat evenly.
Grill the Chicken:
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts, so use a meat thermometer to ensure they’re cooked through.
Prepare the Bruschetta Topping:
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the bruschetta topping. In a bowl, combine all the bruschetta ingredients. Mix everything together, and let it marinate while the chicken finishes cooking.
Top the Chicken:
Once the chicken is cooked through and has those beautiful grill marks, top each breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese, then cook for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Rest:
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, spoon the tomato-basil bruschetta mixture generously over each chicken breast.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your Grilled Bruschetta Chicken hot, and garnish with additional fresh basil leaves if desired.
