Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Prepare the Chicken:
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
- Rub each chicken breast with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken in the baking dish.
Prepare the Bruschetta Topping:
- In a medium bowl, combine diced cherry tomatoes, garlic, red onion, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and chopped basil.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Assemble:
- Spoon the bruschetta mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
- Top with shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Bake:
- Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- If desired, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end to make the cheese golden and bubbly.
Serve:
- Garnish with extra fresh basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze (optional).
- Serve with a side of garlic bread or a green salad.
✅ Tips:
✔️ For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for 1 hour before cooking.
✔️ Use heirloom tomatoes for a richer flavor.
✔️ Swap mozzarella for burrata for a creamier finish.
