When the fall season rolls around the days always seem to feel a little busier, maybe because it starts to get dark way earlier than we have been used to and the days seem so short. I love having easy recipes on hand for those days that just feel so rushed. This baked bruschetta chicken is such a simple recipe to whip up, and so flavorful! Serve it with your favorite potato dish, maybe try my roasted garlic parmesan potatoes or a fresh salad. The recipe serves 4 at 3 points per serving on WW.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup green onion, diced

For the chicken rub

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp onion salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425F, spray a baking dish with some cooking spray.
  • Mix all of the rub ingredients together except for the oil and vinegar. Mix the 1 tbsp olive oil with 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar together in a small dish.
  • Brush the oil and balsamic mixture onto the chicken, then use the rub and coat the chicken breast as best you can.
  • Bake in the oven for 25 minutes. While chicken is baking you can make up the bruschetta. Mix together the tomatoes, garlic, red onion, green onion, fresh basil, salt & pepper and balsamic vinegar.
