    One of the great things about chicken is that it can be made a million different ways. I think my favorite are easy, one-skillet chicken recipes!

    So, I partnered with Perdue Farms to make this Bruschetta Chicken recipe. I wanted a simple, healthy chicken dinner recipe so I started with my favorite brand of chicken - Perdue Farms!

    Since this recipe is so fresh and simple, it's key to use quality, flavorful ingredients. And you'll be glad you did!

    In just about 20 minutes, you'll have a delicious, healthy dinner that's packed with flavor.

    How To Make Bruschetta Chicken

    Tomato onion and basil in a glass bowl

    Toss the tomatoes, red onion, basil, and olive oil together.

    Season with salt. Set aside.

    Chicken breast sliced in half and seasoned

    Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to form 4 thin cutlets. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

    Balsamic glaze in a silver saucepan

    Heat a large skillet. Add the oil and then the chicken cutlets. Cook until chicken has browned.

    Flip chicken and continue cooking until the chicken reaches 165F. Remove to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.

    Carefully wipe the skillet to remove any large browned bits. Add the balsamic vinegar and sugar.

    Cook, stirring as needed, until the mixture reduces and thickens. Be sure to watch the heat level so that the sugar doesn't scorch.

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and flip to coat in the glaze. Top with the tomato mixture just before serving.

    • Tomatoes: You can use Roma tomatoes in place of the grape tomatoes if you prefer.
    • Red onion: Scallion makes a great substitute for the red onion. You could also use 1 clove of minced garlic in place of or in addition to the onion.
    • Brown sugar: The brown sugar helps to add a bit of sweetness to balance out the balsamic vinegar. You can omit it or use a little more or less to taste.
    • Balsamic glaze: You can use a store-bought balsamic glaze if you prefer. If using a premade glaze, just use about ¼ cup for this recipe.
    • Heat: Be sure to keep an eye on the heat while making the balsamic glaze. The sugar can cause the glaze to scorch if it gets too hot.

    I like to serve bruschetta chicken with a simple green salad for a quick, healthy dinner. You can also serve it over spaghetti.

    Notes

    1. You can use Roma tomatoes in place of the grape tomatoes if you prefer.
    2. Scallion makes a great substitute for the red onion. You could also use 1 clove of minced garlic in place of, or in addition to, the onion.
    3. If your chicken breasts are varying thickness, pound to an even thickness so that they will cook evenly.
    4. The brown sugar helps to add a bit of sweetness to balance out the balsamic vinegar. You can omit it or use a little more or less to taste. 
    5. Nutrition values are estimates.

      Delicious recipe Kate! I followed it as written except needed to add a little extra brown sugar because, for me, the BV was too dominant. The tomato mixture on top was so refreshing. For sides, I steamed whole green beans and after removing the chicken, I put them on top of what was left of the glaze to lightly get the flavor and served with garlic bread. Will add this to my recipes and will definitely be making again soon! So quick and easy. Thanks for sharing!
