what is chicken bruschetta?

Bruschetta is one of those foods that are so simple that there’s no hope of hiding mediocre ingredients behind technique or presentation. If your tomatoes aren’t great, your bruschetta won’t be either.

I like to think of it as “Italian salsa” and it often tops toasted bread. It combines wonderful Italian flavors like tomato, basil and balsamic vinegar.

Topping it on chicken creates a wonderful, nutritious meal (and feel free to have your bread-toasted or not- on the side with olive oil…YUMMM).

Whatever is ripe and in season! You can use a mix of heirloom varieties (some sweet and some tart), fleshier paste tomatoes like plums or even cherry tomatoes. I think the seeds contain so much great flavor so leave them in.
