Springtime entertaining with bruschetta chicken: Grilled chicken topped with fresh tomato-basil salad for a beautiful, delicious main dish.
Ingredients:
  • 4 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons dry ranch or Italian salad dressing mix
  • 1.5 pounds cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
  • 2 teaspoons capers, undrained
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Parmesan cheese and lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
  • Begin by cutting each chicken breast in half horizontally on a clean surface to create 8 (4-ounce) cutlets. In a gallon-size resealable plastic bag, mix olive oil and dressing mix to make the marinade. Add the chicken to the bag, seal it, and ensure the chicken is coated by turning the bag. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.
  • For the tomato salad, mix together tomatoes, shallot, lemon juice, vinegar, basil, garlic, capers, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Allow the flavors to meld at room temperature for up to 1 hour before serving.
  • Preheat the outdoor grill to a cozy medium heat of 350 to 375 degrees F (175 to 190 degrees C) and remove the chicken from the marinade, giving it a fresh start.
  • Prepare the grill by oiling the grates. Place the chicken on the grill and cook with the lid on, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), which should take about 8 to 10 minutes. Serve the chicken topped with a delicious tomato salad and accompany it with Parmesan cheese and lemon wedges.
