A Bit of History:

Bruschetta, pronounced “broo-SKEH-tah,” is an Italian appetizer that dates back to the 15th century. It originated as a way to salvage stale bread by toasting it and rubbing it with garlic and olive oil. The name comes from the Roman dialect verb “bruscare,” which means “to toast” or “to roast over coals.” While traditional Italian bruschetta doesn’t include meat, the American twist often incorporates ingredients like grilled chicken, adding heartiness and making it a complete meal rather than just a starter.

Chicken Bruschetta Recipe

Delicious Chicken Bruschetta topped with fresh tomato, basil, and balsamic vinegar, served on toasted baguette slices.

Preparation Time: 15 Minutes,
Cooking Time: 15 Minutes,
Total Time: 30 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 Packet – Zorabian Chicken Breast Boneless 450g
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 baguette, sliced
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
• Balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken

   Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

2. Make the Bruschetta Topping

   In a medium bowl, combine the diced cherry tomatoes, red onion, garlic, fresh basil, balsamic vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix well. Set aside.

3. Prepare the Bread

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush the top of each slice with the remaining olive oil. Toast the baguette slices in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

4. Assemble the Bruschettas

   Top each toasted baguette slice with a spoonful of the bruschetta mixture. Place a few slices of grilled chicken on top of the tomato mixture. (Optional) Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

5. Finishing Touches

   Place the bruschettas back in the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. (Optional) Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top of each bruschetta for an extra burst of flavor.

6. Serve and Enjoy

   Transfer the bruschettas to a serving platter and enjoy immediately as an appetizer or a light meal.
