Description

Imagine sinking your fork into a juicy chicken breast, its tender meat infused with the bright, zesty flavors of a classic bruschetta. This recipe elevates simple chicken to something truly special, perfect for a satisfying lunch or a delightful dinner. The magic begins with plump chicken breasts, carefully butterflied and generously stuffed with a vibrant bruschetta mixture.

Picture juicy, diced tomatoes, bursting with sweetness and a subtle tang, mingling with fragrant fresh basil and a perfectly balanced balsamic dressing. The aroma alone is enough to awaken your appetite. As the stuffed chicken bakes to golden perfection, a slice of creamy mozzarella cheese melts over each breast, creating a gooey, irresistible topping that seals in the flavors and adds a touch of richness.

The melted cheese forms a delicious crust that complements the tender chicken and the bright bruschetta filling. Served alongside is a refreshing bed of crisp coleslaw, offering a cool counterpoint to the warm, savory chicken. This isn't your average coleslaw; it's a vibrant medley of finely shredded broccoli, adding a delightful crunch, and savory bacon bits that introduce a smoky depth.

The dressing is a creamy, tangy blend of sour cream and fresh green onion, creating a light and flavorful coating that perfectly complements the other elements of the dish. For optimal enjoyment, consider storing the bruschetta chicken and coleslaw separately. This keeps the coleslaw crisp and prevents the chicken from becoming soggy.

The chicken, when stored properly, remains flavorful for up to five days, while the coleslaw stays fresh and delicious for up to three days. If you find that your chicken breasts vary in size, don't hesitate to adjust the amount of bruschetta filling accordingly. Any leftover bruschetta can be spooned over the finished chicken for an extra burst of flavor, or enjoyed on its own as a vibrant side dish.

This Bruschetta Chicken with Broccoli Bacon Slaw is a symphony of flavors and textures, a truly satisfying meal that's both healthy and delicious.

Instructions

    1.
    Cook bacon strips on your stovetop until they’re cooked to a crisp. Let the bacon strips cool before chopping them into bacon bits. Add your bacon bits to a large mixing bowl. Use a cheese grater to grate a head of broccoli until you yield the weight listed in the ingredients. For this recipe, it’s better to start grating at the core and working your way up instead of grating the head first.
    2.
    Add the grated broccoli to the mixing bowl along with the coleslaw mix. Add black pepper and mix the ingredients together. Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, and chopped green onion. Mix the dressing into the mixing bowl until your coleslaw is complete. Set the coleslaw in your refrigerator to marinate while the remainder of the recipe is made.
    3.
    Dice the tomatoes and add them to a small mixing bowl. Remove the wet seeds from the tomatoes before you weigh and dice them. Add sliced spinach, sliced basil leaves, salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and olive oil to the mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients together and set this aside while you prepare the chicken.
    4.
    Turn on an oven to preheat to 375 degrees and line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Cut large, boneless chicken breasts into 8-ounce pieces and butterfly them. Flip the chicken breasts over to show the “outside”, and rub the second amount of olive oil into the breasts. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and italian seasoning. Flip the chicken breasts over to expose the “inside” and arrange them on the prepared sheet tray.
    5.
    Fill each chicken breast with the bruschetta you made earlier. Fold each chicken breast over and secure them shut with toothpicks. Bake the stuffed chicken breasts in your oven for 45 minutes or longer, until the chicken reads 165 degrees internally on a meat thermometer. Then, lay a slice of mozzarella cheese over each chicken breast and cook for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Remove the toothpicks from the chicken, and serve it hot with cold coleslaw.
