Frequently Asked Questions

What is bruschetta?

Bruschetta is an Italian appetizer made of toasted bread that is generally topped with garlic, fresh tomatoes, basil, and a drizzle of olive oil. Sometimes it is also topped with fresh mozzarella and a balsamic glaze! You can find all kinds of bruschetta nowadays, but this chicken dinner is based on classic bruschetta.

Can I cook the bruschetta chicken recipe in a skillet instead?

If you prefer to cook the chicken in a skillet to get a good sear, you definitely can. I would sear it in the skillet and then transfer it to the sheet pan to finish cooking with the fresh mozzarella on top!

Can I use chicken thighs instead?

Definitely! This will have a slightly different taste but boneless, skinless chicken thighs will do just fine. No need to cut them in half as you would with chicken breast since they usually aren’t as thick!
