skillet bruschetta chicken

Here is a healthy, light, and simple recipe for bruschetta chicken with zucchini noodles cooked in 1 pan.

Skillet Bruschetta Chicken Dinner

(680 grams) skinless boneless chicken breasts

seasoning,

Tablespoons (3 grams) chopped basil leaves

garlic cloves, minced (about 1/2 teaspoon minced)

salt and black pepper

olive oil

(680 grams) zucchini, spiralized into noodles*

cheese & more basil

Marinate the chicken in advance

Place chicken breasts into a large zipper food storage bag or shallow dish/container. Mix 1 cup (240ml) of dressing and Italian seasoning, if using, together and pour on top of chicken. Turn chicken to coat. Seal the bag/cover the dish and refrigerate for 2—24 hours.

Make the bruschetta topping in advance

Combine the chopped tomatoes, chopped basil leaves, minced garlic, and the remaining 2 Tablespoons of Italian dressing. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. You should end up with about 2 and 1/2 cups (475g) of the bruschetta mixture. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 2—24 hours.

Cook the chicken

In a large skillet, heat 1 Tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken, cover, and cook for 10–15 minutes, turning a few times. You want the chicken nice and golden-brown on the outside while fully cooked inside. (Chicken is considered done when an instant read thermometer reads the center of the thickest part as at least 165°F (74°C).) Remove the chicken to a cutting board; do not clean out skillet. Slice the chicken.

Cook the zucchini noodles

Add 1 Tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, followed by the zucchini noodles (see Notes if using frozen zucchini noodles) and about 1 cup of the bruschetta topping. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The noodles will cook down, absorbing the flavors. Remove from heat and carefully drain off most of the liquid. 

Return the skillet to the stovetop, and add the sliced cooked chicken and the remaining bruschetta mixture. Cook, stirring, for about a minute, until warmed through. Serve immediately, topped with grated parmesan cheese and more fresh basil, if desired.

Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for a few days. Reheat in the microwave or covered on the stove over low heat until warmed.

I love bruschetta so this recipe sounded and looked great! I made it with thin spaghetti, then sprinkled parmesan cheese on top.  My husband and I both loved it! Thanks for a new idea on chicken!

The first time I made this I wasn’t overly impressed because it was kindof a watery mess in the end. But I tried it again tonight and made some adjustments. I highly recommend pre-cooking the zucchini noodles first and then draining them and squeezing out excess liquid BEFORE adding them to the skillet with the good stuff. This made a huge difference...no excess liquid and way more flavor! I also sliced the chicken breast after cooking and placed on top of the zucchini noodles before topping with the remaining bruschetta mixture. Just made it a little easier to eat since I didn’t have to cut up chicken as I ate. Tonight it was a delicious, flavorful and healthy meal.

I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious.  I didn’t have time to marinate as long as instructed and I added some chili peppers which gave it more flavor. This will be a regular for my dinner arsenal. Thank you for sharing!

This was my first time with zoodles, and they held up so much better than I imagined. I went ahead and made them in advance, and put a paper towel under them in a bowl. It helped release some moisture. I only had chicken thighs, so I cooked them in the crock pot with the dressing instead of stove top because for me, thighs plus stove top is rubber. They were delish! The bruschetta was so great, too! I used the Italian Dressing recipe referenced in one of Sally's replies, above, and though it was good, it was VERY tangy. My husband can't do tangy things, lol, so he forced himself to finish it. I could eat this every day! Thanks for a great recipe.

This was absolutely delicious. I bought a spiralizer (over a month ago) from Amazon and could not get it to work. So it will go to Good Will and thank you for telling me that they are available in the frozen food ailes.  I did it this time with thin sliced zucchini.

This was a delicious recipe. I had bought a spiralizer from Amazon over a month ago so it’s been too long to send it back. Now it will go to Good Will. I cut my zucchini into thin slices which worked great. Thanks for telling me that frozen zoodles are available in the frozen foods aisle. My daughter said it smelled fantastic as I was cooking it.
