Bruschetta with Chicken

A favourite at our place for evenings when time is limited, or if we’ve just run out of ideas. Quick and tasty, this easy weeknight dinner also uses relatively few ingredients.

You'll Need:

200g chicken breast fillets

2 large tomatoes, diced

2 tablespoons roughly chopped basil

1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (plus extra for frying)

Half a lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

2 slices sourdough or wholemeal bread

Method:

Season chicken with salt and pepper, and squeeze over lemon juice. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat, then fry chicken until golden on both sides and cooked through (when juices run clear).

While chicken is cooking, roughly chop tomatoes into 1cm cubes and add to a bowl. Add onion, basil, olive oil, salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Squeeze over a little lemon juice.

Arrange bread on an oven tray and drizzle with a little olive oil. Toast in the oven until lightly browned.

To serve, arrange bread on a plate and top with 2 spoons of tomato mixture. Top with chicken, either sliced or whole.
