Dinner Tonight: April 27, 2022 Simple Bruschetta Chicken Skillet

Simple Bruschetta Chicken Skillet

Fun

Think of an obscure word. Everyone at the table guesses what the definition might be, and votes for the best one!

Conversation

What is the difference between a bystander and an upstander? How have you stood up for someone or something important lately?

This recipe was provided to us by Brenda Thompson, blogger and recipe developer at Meal Planning Magic.

 

Ingredients

  • 2 Roma tomatoes, diced OR 1 can diced tomatoes, drained
  • ¾ cup shredded Italian blend cheese
  • 1 ½ tablespoons dried basil
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 14.5 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Italian herb blend (or use half and half dried basil and oregano)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together diced tomatoes, cheese and basil. Set aside.
  2. In small bowl, combine panko bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Set aside.
  3. Pound chicken breasts to ½-inch thickness. I like to put the chicken in a resealable bag and use a meat mallet to pound the chicken for the least mess. If you don’t have a meat mallet, you can also use a rolling pin.
  4. In large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken and saute 1-2 minutes on each side to sear and create a golden brown color. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Combine tomato sauce and garlic in skillet; add chicken. Top with tomato, cheese and basil mixture, pressing onto chicken.
  6. Bring sauce to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook 15 minutes or until chicken has reached a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
  7. Top with breadcrumb cheese mixture just before serving. We like to serve this with a wild rice pilaf and garden salad.
