    Bruschetta is a classic Italian dish with chopped fresh tomatoes, basil, onion and garlic. Here I've served it on top of baked chicken for an easy, fresh and flavorful one-pan meal. This dish is dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free, keto, low-carb, whole 30 and paleo-friendly so you can confidently serve it to a variety of eaters to accommodate their needs.

    Serve Sheet Pan Bruschetta Chicken with garlic bread, Roasted Mini Potatoes or your favorite pasta and a House Salad or Chopped Italian Salad for a balanced meal the whole family will love.

    Ingredients

    Here's what you need to make Sheet Pan Bruschetta Chicken:

    Chicken breasts, grape tomatoes, fresh basil, olive oil, red onion, minced garlic, salt and pepper.
    • boneless skinless chicken breasts
    • grape tomatoes
    • red onion
    • fresh basil
    • extra virgin olive oil
    • salt
    • ground black pepper

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    Here's how to make Sheet Pan Bruschetta Chicken:

    A cutting board with chicken breasts sliced into cutlets.

    Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise into cutlets.

    A sheet pan with raw seasoned chicken cutlets.

    Place the chicken cutlets on a sheet pan. Then, brush the cutlets with 1 Tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle them with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon of black pepper.

    A sheet pan with cooked seasoned chicken cutlets.

    Bake the seasoned chicken cutlets at 425 for 25 minutes.

    A bowl of halved grape tomatoes, chopped red onion, sliced basil, minced garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper ready to be stirred for Bruschetta.

    While the chicken bakes, make the bruschetta by adding 1 Tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspon of salt and ½ teaspoon of black pepper to a bowl, and stirring to combine. Then, slice the tomatoes in half, chop the red onion and slice the basil into strips. Add the sliced tomatoes, chopped onion, sliced basil and minced garlic to the bowl with the oil, stirring to combine. Once the chicken is cooked, top each cutlet with the bruschetta and serve immediately.

    Hint: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or foil prior to baking for easy cleanup.

    Substitutions

    Want to substitute an ingredient in Sheet Pan Bruschetta Chicken? Here's how:

    • Chicken breasts - use store-bought chicken cutlets in place of the breasts to skip the step of slicing them.
    • Grape tomatoes - use roma tomatoes or cherry tomatoes in place of the grape tomatoes.
    • Red onion - use a white onion or yellow onion in place of the red onion.
    • Olive oil - use an equal amount of a different mild oil such as avocado oil in place of the olive oil.

    Variations

    Try one of these variations of Sheet Pan Bruschetta Chicken:

    • Spicy - add ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the bruschetta.
    • Deluxe - Add 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning when seasoning the raw chicken cutlets and chopped olives or capers to the bruschetta. Then, drizzle a little balsamic vinegar or glaze over top of the prepared bruschetta-topped chicken.
    • Cheesy - top the chicken with parmesan or mozzarella cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.

    Equipment

    This equipment comes in handy when making Sheet Pan Bruschetta Chicken:

    • knife
    • cutting board
    • sheet pan

    Storage

    Store leftover cooled cooked Sheet Pan Bruschetta Chicken in the refrigerator by storing the chicken and bruschetta in separate airtight containers for up to 4 days. The cooled cooked chicken can be stored in the freezer for up to 4 months but I wouldn't recommend freezing the bruschetta as it will compromise the texture of the tomatoes.

    Top tip

    Cook this Sheet Pan Bruschetta Chicken in the air fryer at 400 for 15 minutes (or until a meat thermometer registers 165 when inserted into the chicken) rather than in the oven.

    FAQ

    How do you keep bruschetta from getting soggy?

    For best results, assemble bruschetta immediately before serving. When prepared in advance, the tomatoes will release their juices making the bruschetta a little watery. When eating leftover bruschetta, simply drain off the excess liquid, then enjoy!

    Does bruschetta need to be refrigerated?

    Bruschetta is best when eaten at room temperature and when prepared immediately prior to serving. When preparing bruschetta more than 30 minutes prior to serving, refrigerate the bruschetta until ready to use.
