A delightful twist on classic bruschetta chicken, this recipe combines fresh ingredients and simple techniques for a flavorful and satisfying dish.
Combine the olive oil, diced tomatoes, chopped basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Let the marinade sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dip them into the beaten egg and coat with breadcrumbs.
Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken to ensure an even coating.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Top the cooked chicken with the tomato mixture and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
Covering the skillet helps the cheese melt evenly.
Serve the chicken warm, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
Serve with a side of garlic bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
