What to serve with Bruschetta Chicken

This is a great summer time dish, so I like to keep it simple by serving this chicken with a fresh green salad. If you want this to be part of a heartier meal, I don’t think you could go wrong with serving this with some fresh pasta or cooked rice.

Sautéed vegetables such as asparagus or grilled corn on the cob would equally work well. I also love this recipe with a side of grilled garlic bread!

Healthy low carb chicken recipe

This recipe makes enough for four servings, and each serving is around 230 calories with 8g of carbs. It’s high in protein and low in fat. The bruschetta topping is loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants so this can be part of a great well balanced meal.

Tomato bruschetta topping

The bruschetta topping for the chicken is so wonderfully fresh, and the key is to use the most perfectly ripe tomatoes you can!

You don’t have to make the topping ahead of time, but if you do, it will really let all of those flavors develop. I used Roma tomatoes but I would wager that halved, sweet cherry tomatoes would also work well.

Top tips to make Easy Bruschetta Chicken
