Compile Cheesy Bruschetta Chicken in Less Than 10 Minutes!
Dinner is done in a jiffy thanks to a jar of prepared bruschetta and thinly sliced chicken breasts!
Who’s ready for another easy chicken dinner?
If you’re struggling to figure out a meal to quickly throw together this week, consider grabbing some premade bruschetta and making this simple bruschetta chicken recipe! I have made it a few times now, and my family seems to really enjoy the cheesy, comforting results. I especially appreciate that it takes less than ten minutes to prep for the oven.
You will not regret throwing Bruschetta chicken on the meal plan!
The way the fresh mozzarella melts is so delicious, especially when paired with the tomato mixture. It creates a flavorful olive oil “sauce” on the bottom of the pan. Serve it with a salad and/or some crusty bread, and it’s a heavenly combo!

Extra tips for making this bruschetta chicken:
- Oven times may vary along with the thickness of the chicken. I suggest testing the chicken with a quick read thermometer after about 30 minutes to see if the internal temperature has reached at least 165 degrees.
- The Delallo Bruschetta seems to be readily available at most stores and is good. If you have a Trader Joe’s, their fresh Bruschetta is amazing!
- For a larger group, it would be easy to double the ingredients and bake in a 9×13 baking dish!
- The fresh chopped basil is optional but so tasty. I highly recommend it!
- I wanted to call out our favorite balsamic glaze EVER! This Oliver 25-year-aged balsamic is pricey but so worth it. We usually go through a bottle a year. It makes a really great gift for the holidays, too!
We all need these easy types of meals that are done in less than 45 minutes from start to finish. We really enjoyed this one, and I hope you do too!
