bruschetta baked chicken

Tonight I was inspired by a recent post by Fooding with Emily and her bruschetta chicken. I picked up her recipe and tweaked it to my own style. It was a pretty great and easy dish. Here's what you'll need:

  • Chicken breasts
  • 1 bunch of cherry grape tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Breadcrumbs (Italian style)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ball bufala mozzarella 
  • Salt, pepper and oregano to taste

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Coat the chicken breasts in egg then breadcrumb, and place into a glass baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes and place them into a bowl along with the basil, oil, salt, pepper and oregano.
After the first 15 minutes in the oven, remove the chicken, add the tomato mixture on top and finish it off with a few slices of mozzarella. Bake for another 15 minutes and serve. Done and done (and delicous).

Bon chappétit!
