Meal Prep Time Saver Tip
Step 1
Make the Bruschetta mixture up to 24 hours ahead of time and let it marinate in the fridge so it is ready when you get home from a busy day to pour over the chicken and bake!
Step 2
Cook once, eat twice! Make extra chicken and serve it as leftovers on pizza crust or tortilla chips with a salad or fresh cut-up veggies on the side.
Chef's Tips
This recipe is a rich source of lycopene, which is an antioxidant found in tomatoes that protects against certain types of cancers. Heating tomaotes increases the availability of lycopene, as does consuming a source of fat at the same time as consuming the tomatoes. Both are applicable to this recipe!
