The Italian blood running through my veins might make me a little biased on this one, but it’s already shot up to the top of my favorite recipes I’ve shared so far. Skinny Bruschetta Chicken is delicious, filling, and that tomato-basil topping could be eaten by the spoonful all by itself. Yum!

Ingredients
For the Chicken
- Chicken Breast: I used 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast that I butterflied into 4 servings. You can use 4 chicken breasts for larger servings if you’d like, without adding any additional points if you’re on the Purple or Blue WW Plans.
- Spices: We’re flavoring the chicken with some Italian Seasoning, Garlic Powder, Salt, and Pepper for flavor.
- Olive Oil: for cooking the chicken in the skillet.
- Cheese: I used reduced-fat shredded mozzarella. You can also use reduced-fat mozzarella slices instead.
For the Bruschetta Topping:
Tomatoes: I used Roma tomatoes because they have more tomato and fewer seeds, so they are ideal for dicing. You can use any kind of tomato you prefer or have on hand.
Basil: for flavor!
Balsamic Vinegar: for flavor.
Minced Garlic: for flavor.
Salt and Pepper: to taste.
