Bruschetta Chicken

I absolutely enjoyed this dinner to the very last bite.  I hope you feel the same way!  I got this recipe from the P90X2 nutritional guide.

For 1 piece of chicken here are the facts:
Calories 201; Fat 7g, Saturated fat 1g; Carbohydrate 9 g; Protein 24 g; Fiber 2g; sodium 354 mg; cholesterol 62 mg

Salsa Topping
  • 6 medium Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
Chicken Breast
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
  • 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
For Salsa, combine all ingredients in a medium bowl.  Cover and chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.

For chicken breast, combine all ingredients in a large ziplock plastic bag.  Shake to distribute well, seal, and marinate in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Preheat over to 350 degrees.

Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade.  Place chicken in glass baking dish.  Cover with foil and place in oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.  Serve with salsa on top; garnish with fresh basil leaves.

I served mine with some brown rice and a fresh broccoli.  My whole family and our dinner guest loved it!!!
I put out some fresh mozzarella cheese for everyone else to put on their chicken but I did not!

  1. LOVE this recipe! Being new to clean eating, I was looking for a really tasty recipe and I've definitely found it in this one! I served w a side of sweet potato and was thrilled when even my 10 and 13 year old nieces gobbled it right up.

  2. This recipe looks delicious! I'm definitely going to make it when I have a little more time on my hands (and after I have finished all of the food I cooked ahead of time yesterday). What is the weight of one serving of chicken--is it 3-4 oz?
