Notes
- Fresh, ripe tomatoes make a huge difference in the bruschetta topping, so choose the best quality available.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep it juicy and tender.
- For a low-carb version, skip the bread and serve the chicken with a side of roasted vegetables.
- If your tomatoes are super ripe, drain some of the excess liquid to prevent the dish from becoming watery.
