Bruschetta Chicken – chicken marinaded and grilled, then topped it tomato and garlic bruschetta. Healthy, quick, easy, and delicious!

Do you have a garden at your house? We plant a garden every year, but this year we decided to make it a small one. We planted 4 tomato plants, 1 zucchini, 2 peppers (1 spicy, 1 bell pepper), and a couple herbs.  2 of the tomato plants are HUGE!  Like taking over the entire garden huge. The other 2 are tiny, and will produce nothing. We spaced them so far apart, so I am really not sure what happened. A few of the herbs are going crazy too. Basil, Sage, and Parsley are like bushes out there. So today we are using some fresh summer produce to make dinner.  And if you have any recipes that use massive amounts of sage let me know, because I am not sure what to do with all of it.

My husband is not a huge fan of fresh tomatoes. He likes them in salsa, but will not eat them on a sandwich. He likes Bruschetta, and requests that I make it every year with our tomatoes. I have no idea why he likes that, but will pick a tomato off a burger. I decided to take his love of bruschetta, and put it on top of grilled chicken to make bruschetta chicken! Tons of fresh flavor to brighten up dinner.

The longer you let the chicken marinate the more flavor it is going to have. I put mine together in the morning, and let it sit in the fridge all day. It made dinner time super quick; all I had to do was chop the tomatoes and grill the chicken. You can serve it with a salad or pan charred asparagus for a super healthy and delicious dinner. My son isn’t a fan of bruschetta, but he loved the chicken on its own, no extra sauce or dip required for him. So even if you have a picky eater, there is still plenty for them to eat! And the fresh tomatoes from the garden or farmer’s market make this even better!
