Bruschetta Chicken
Golden, pan-seared chicken topped with warm garlic tomato bruschetta, fresh basil, and a light drizzle of olive oil. Simple, fresh, and packed with flavor.
Ingredients:
• 6 oz boneless, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts
• 1½ Tbsp butter or tallow
• ½ cup cherry tomatoes, finely diced
• 1 small clove garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp shallot or red onion, finely minced
• 1 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
• 1 tsp balsamic vinegar (optional)
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp olive oil
• Optional: freshly grated Parmesan
How to make it:
1️⃣ In a small bowl, combine diced tomatoes, garlic, shallot, basil, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar if using. Set aside while you cook the chicken.
2️⃣ Season chicken with salt and pepper.
3️⃣ Heat butter or tallow in a skillet over medium-high heat. If using skin-on thighs, place them skin-side down and sear 4–5 minutes until golden and crisp.
4️⃣ Flip and cook another 3–4 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through. Remove and let rest briefly.
5️⃣ Reduce heat to medium. Add the tomato mixture to the same skillet and gently sauté for 1 minute—just enough to warm it without fully cooking the tomatoes.
6️⃣ Plate the chicken and spoon the warm bruschetta mixture over the top.
7️⃣ Finish with 1 tsp olive oil, fresh Parmesan, or extra basil if desired.
