For The Chicken

  • Put half the oil in your skillet and season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.

Putting It All Together

  • Spoon the prepared bruschetta topping generously over each chicken breast. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. If using cheese, sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top of the bruschetta topping in the last 5-10 minutes of baking. Just long enough for it to melt.
