Skinny Bruschetta Chicken has delicious juicy grilled chicken topped with a fresh tomato bruschetta! It’s the perfect healthy dinner!
When I first made this Skinny Bruschetta Chicken, I thought it was the perfect meal for a warm day. A couple weeks ago, it was still in the high 80’s here in Atlanta. I wish it cooled off earlier, but it does give me the chance to stretch those summer vegetables. With the basil still thriving, and tomatoes still at peak, this is a cheap, healthy, and easy meal.
You can chose whether to grill, bake, or heat the chicken in a skillet. Season with salt and pepper first, and then get cooking! By allowing the tomatoes to marinate while cooking, they really absorb a lot of the balsamic flavor, which is key when making bruschetta. I super loaded the chicken with the bruschetta topping, so if you put less, you might even have some left over bruschetta for later! Cut up a baguette and serve it together. This Skinny Bruschetta Chicken is amazing!
- 3 or 4 chicken breasts
- 4 or 5 small tomatoes , chopped
- 1 clove garlic , minced
- 1 tsp . olive oil
- 1 tsp . balsamic vinegar
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- Handful basil , chopped
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (if you choose to bake your chicken rather than grill). Sprinkle some salt and pepper over top, cover and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes (depending on the size of your breasts) until juices run clear.
-
Meanwhile, combine chopped tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt and basil in a bowl. Refrigerate until chicken is ready to be served and spoon over top of the chicken.

Tried this tonight. I’m not a fan of onions & didn’t have any fresh basil but it was fresh from my garden prior to drying it. The chicken was delicious before putting this topping on and even better when it had the topping. The only thing I would change would be more balsamic. Yummy dinner. Thank you.
Allyson says
Oh I am so glad it turned out great for you! I think if you want more balsamic, you can never go wrong with that! I can’t wait till my basil grows in this spring so I can start using it again…nothing beats fresh basil! Thanks for coming by!
Laura Lea Martin says
Made this tonight. I grilled the chicken instead of baking. Definitely needs more balsamic, can’t wait to eat the leftovers on crusty bread. Thanks for sharing!
Allyson says
So glad you liked it! Definitely adjust to your taste preference! I Can’t wait until summer to have these fresh ingredients again!

Pinned! Can’t wait to try this, it sounds yummy and it’s healthy too which is a bonus (I’m a slimming bride to be so healthy recipes are heaven especially since I’m a carb addict). I was wondering what would be good to have on the side…I was thinking maybe grilled courgettes / zucchini and red peppers (i always need something on the side!). I was going to say that during winter I grow some basil indoors in a plantpot on the kitchen windowsill and it usually survives all winter with a little care and attention (we don’t get good enough weather in Scotland for it to thrive outdoors). I just thought I’d mention it so you don’t have to go without yummy fresh basil in the winter months.
Allyson says
Hey Lynsey! Thanks for stopping by! I think those sound like fabulous sides! I think even a big side salad would be great with this meal! Or even some quinoa or cous cous if you are feeling carb-y! I definitely need to get on the ball with growing basil inside…but I am sad to say I don’t have any place I can really put the plant! All of our windows are in funky places and can’t really host a plant so I am afraid it wouldn’t get enough sun and it would die 🙁 Anyway, I hope you love the recipe!

I made this last week & loved it!! Served with cooked barley & for leftovers I cut the chicken & put it with the topping & barley for a “healthy” bowl. Even hubby enjoyed it!! Thanks!
Allyson says
Wow that sounds like a winning combination! I bet the barely was really tasty with the bruschetta on top!
Whitney says
I tried this tonight and it was a hit! My red onion was actually bad so I used a yellow one and it worked out fine. The balsamic amount was perfect for me and glad it was less because if you do anymore, you can’t go back. I made a side of homemade mashed potatoes and yep, it was delicious! So easy but so flavorful. Thank you for the recipe, it will be in the rotation now.

I made this last night and it was so tasty. Will definitely make again. Baked chicken in the oven and have lots of leftover yummy bruschetta.
Allyson says
SO happy it turned out well! It’s definitely a summer staple!

Hi I have a question. Exactly, how long does it take to prepare and cook?
Also this recipe looks so delicious.
Allyson says
It takes about 5 minutes to prep and probably 15 to cook?

Not sure if you can help but I have recipes that I need to figure up the nutritional values of the ingredients like you have figured up per serving and points value, is there a good website that figures up recipe nutritional values?
Allyson says
Yes!!! You can use My Fitness Pal. THey have a website and an app, but you can literally just put the ingredients into it, and it will calculate it. Or you can copy and paste the recipe link into their tool, too, and try to match it up. Here’s the link: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/calculator

Yum! Bruschetta in the summer is the best. We have fresh tomato and basil plants at my house, and it makes for the BEST bruchetta!

Am I missing something? Neither the recipe or the picture show onion, yet several people have commented on the type of onion they used.
Allyson says
No onions are in this recipe – you are welcome to add them if you want, though!
Laura says
Thank you, I felt like I was going crazy!!!
Allyson says
A lot of people have commented they’ve added red onion and loved it! But do what you want!
