I decided to create a blog so that I could share recipes with my family and friends :) I am very family orientated and love to spend time with them any chance I get and most of my close friends, I consider to be like family. This blog will be kept short, simple and fun. I love to cook in the kitchen and try new recipes so if you have any new ones you would like me to try....just email me or comment :)

Bruschetta Chicken (2 Ways)

I have seen two different ways to make this chicken. One being grilled and the other being baked. Time got away from me last night so I decided to make the baked version and then eventually I will make the grilled version to see which one is better.

Below is the directions for baking it and then at the bottom, I will post how to grill it.




Ingredients:
4 small boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts
1/2 cup KRAFT Sun-Dried Tomato dressing (divided if using grill)
2 Tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup chopped Fresh Basil

What To Do (BAKE):
  • Place chicken breasts in a plastic bag with the dressing to marinate (at least 10 minutes, but it's better if you do it that morning)
  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Remove chicken from bag and discard the bag and the dressing
  • Place chicken on on baking sheet - either cover the pan with foil or grease it before hand
  • Cook chicken for 30 minutes
  • While chicken is cooking, chop up tomatoes and basil
  • Combine tomatoes and basil in a bowl and mix together
  • Remove chicken from the oven and top with tomato/basil mixture
  • Sprinkle  mozzarella cheese on top
  • Return to oven for another 10-15 minutes
What To Do (GRILL):
  • Place a large sheet of heavy duty foil over half of grill grate
  • Heat grill to medium heat
  • Meanwhile, place chicken in a plastic bag and add 1/4 cup dressing
  • Coat chicken and refrigerate at least 10 minutes
  • Remove chicken from bag and discard the bag with dressing
  • Grill chicken on uncovered side of grill for about 6 minutes
  • Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/4 cup dressing, tomatoes, cheese and basil
  • Turn the chicken over and place cooked side up on the foil
  • Top with tomato mixture
  • Close lid and grill about 8 more minutes
