I just received my TOH magazine on Friday and I couldn't wait to try this recipe. I always see Chicken Bruschetta Grilled not baked. My husband loved it and said fresh tomatoes make all the difference! I used whole wheat bread crumbs to add a little extra fiber. Next time we might kick up the heat with using hot pepper oil instead of olive oil or throw in some hot pepper flake.

I put the chicken in a brine of salt, garlic and onion powder for a few hours to make the chicken more flavorful and used Panko bread crumbs for more crunch. Very good!

We loved this tasty and easy recipe. I made a few changes to the original recipe which I would recommend. I added chopped green onions, oregano, parsley and onion powder to the bruschetta as well as more olive oil. When preparing the chicken, I rolled the chicken in the flour, egg and then rolled it in the parmesan and bread crumbs. I baked it uncovered for about 45 minutes. It was so yummy.

I made this for my husband and son tonight exactly as written with the exception of baking about 10 minutes longer to reach the temp of 170º. Well, almost 170º. My guys loved this, we don't even have leftovers! They said it was flavorful and moist.

very tasty, quinoa makes a great healthy side dish.

I did the standard flour, then egg, then bread crumb breading routine, and the chicken turned out nice and moist. As for the bruschetta topping, I found the garlic to be a bit overpowering, maybe because it was mostly raw? I did appreciate the fresh tomatoes and basil.

What a simple, yet DELICIOUS recipe. I made it for the first time for guests, and it came out perfectly. Everyone loved it! I do cheat a little bit, and use a jar of Trader Joe's Bruschetta. It's basically the same as the recipe, but done for me, and it's soooo good! In the summer I'll try making my own bruschetta with garden tomatoes, but in the meantime, Trader Joe's helps make this recipe super easy!

Very good if you're looking to cook something on the lighter side.

Given the great reviews and high rating I had great hopes for this recipe. Followed it exactly, and cannot figure out what all the hype is about. Very pedestrian. No one liked it, and all agreed it was "missing a lot of something." The chicken was very bland even though I used a very good Parmesan that I grated specifically for this recipe, and added some salt (I season everything) to the flour. The "bruschetta" on top was just garlicky tomatoes. Definitely deleting this one from the "recipes to try" file!

Decided on this recipe because I have an abundance of fresh basil in my garden. I was not disappointed. This is a keeper!

I found that lining the baking pan with non-stick foil made clean up a snap. The bruschetta is so good! Next time I will double the recipe and same some to top off slices of French or Italian bread. I will also try coating the chicken with the bread crumb mixture in a third bowl instead of spooning it on top. Hopefully this will help to make the chicken a bit crunchier. Look forward to making it again for the family.

The smell, the taste.... wow. This recipe was fantastic. I even used the leftover topping on crackers as a snack. Love!

I definitely added a little extra garlic (since I love it!) and i used a can of diced tomatoes which I wouldn't normally do, but fresh tomatoes haven't been looking that great lately. It turned out pretty decent, maybe a little more watery than it would have been with the fresh tomatoes. I definitely plan on trying fresh next time. It wasn't super crispy, but I wasn't really expecting it to be anyways. It was definitely soggy as leftovers, but the flavor was still decent.

This is a family favorite. I have started putting fresh pesto on the chicken before the tomato mixture....add another level of flavor!

OMGosh, my teenage sons and I made this recipe with all fresh ingredients. I made 6 breasts in all; one for @ of my 3 sons and one for me. After arguing who was going to get the last two, we cut them in half and @ got an extra half more! The fresh tomatoes, basil and crunchy parmesan were excellent. I know my sons could make this recipe all by themselves, and they probably will! Can't wait for the weather to change so I can start growing basil & tomatoes. YUMMO

I only use butter for cooking...and I do leave the foil loose.  I'm wondering if it would be the brand of bread crumbs?  That is the only thing I can think of.  Thanks so much for your response!

Meesh233-I haven't made this yet, but just a couple of thoughts. Are you using butter with your crumbs-most margarines today contain water which could be causing the soggy problem. Also, you are leaving the foil loose, right so that cooking is aided, but steam escapes? I'm going to try dipping the breast halves in skim milk and then in panko crumbs to see how that turns out. (Panko crumbs are coarser, crisper bread crumbs that allow you to bake things with a crispy coating without frying. It is a newer product here in the US)

Reviewed on Aug. 01, 2008 by Meesh233

Can someone help me with this recipe?  I made this a few times and the coating on the chicken will not stay crunchy, it ends up all soggy.   Last year I didn't have this problem, but now I can't seem to get it right again.  Any ideas?  This is such an easy recipe I'm embarrassed to be messing it up.  I bake with foil on for 20, without for 20, and then with the tomatoes only 2-3 minutes to warm them.  Any ideas??  Please??
