What better way to dress up chicken than Paula's easy basil butter. This summer herb blends beautifully…

Ive had better. The breading was really soggy from the tomatoes. Not bad, but not awesome. Maybe I just made it wrong. probably not a repeater...

Amazing! I've even taking the topping, mixed it with some mozzerella and used it as a topping for toasted baguette bread. MmmMmmMmm!

Re: Bruschetta Chicken

This is the first time I tried making something for company that I had never made before. Well, It was just wonderful. I served it with smashed potatoes, string beans & a salad. Everyone expressed how delicious it was. Thank you Taste of Home for a great low cost company dinner. Keep them coming.

I made this chicken dish for dinner the other night and it was an instant hit! Very good flavor and it is ready in no time.

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)
