How To Make Bruschetta Chicken
Preparing this easy chicken recipe is quick and doesn’t require much time in the kitchen. First, combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl and whisk to mix. Pour that over the chicken breast, and marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Next, heat a cast-iron skillet on high heat with olive oil. Cook each chicken breast for 8 to 10 minutes per side until fully cooked and charred. Then, top each piece of meat with a slice of mozzarella cheese and continue to cook until the cheese is melted. Meanwhile, make the tomato mixture by tossing the diced tomatoes with garlic, lemon juice, basil, salt, and ground black pepper. To serve, add a spoonful of the tomato mixture to the chicken breast and sprinkle with more grated parmesan cheese.
Cooking Tips
For the best result, please follow my tips:
Choose a cast-iron skillet to cook the chicken breast for the best result. To avoid the meat sticking to the skillet when flipping over, add one tablespoon of olive oil to the cast-iron skillet before placing the chicken breast on it. To ensure the chicken breast is fully cooked, use a probe thermometer to measure the internal temperature if it reaches 155°. Make sure the entire piece is cooked through; you may brown the edges by holding upright with tongs.
