Make a simple and delicious one-dish dinner in 30 minutes with this Baked Chicken Bruschetta!
Get ready for a great meal with this EASY One-Dish Dinner, Baked Chicken Bruschetta.
This particular recipe is one that we made YEARS ago as in when my website first began back in 2010. It was way past time to redo this recipe and share it again. It has been a favorite in our household for many years now.
Tips for Making Baked Chicken Bruschetta:
This recipe can be made with either boneless, skinless chicken breast or boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I will tell you though chicken thighs are MUCH better.
The chicken thighs are juicier and do not dry out as quickly as chicken breast.
The chicken will need to be cubed first before cooking. I happen to love that because my kids can get a helping of baked chicken bruschetta without me having to cut up chicken.
I’ll tell you all, cutting meat before eating it for the kids is one of the things I dread. I don’t know why but I just don’t like it…it’s one of those things I guess. It’s necessary though, but this time I get it done ahead so that I can eat a warm meal right along with them.
This recipe is also made using Italian Seasoning, which you can use a packet found at your local grocery store or make your own with this Homemade Italian Seasoning.
How do you make this recipe gluten-free?
If you need this to be gluten-free, it’s a simple swap of stuffing mix. Just use a gluten-free box stuffing.
The BEST one I’ve ever had is the Aldi brand Gluten-Free Chicken Stuffing. It’s really amazing and you will not even be able to tell the difference.
They usually carry it in the early fall around October. I always buy a few extra to carry us through the winter months because they do sell out of it quickly. There are others as well, so if you do not find that one you can use an alternative gluten-free stuffing of your choice.
The other item needed is Italian Seasoning, this can easily be made with Homemade Italian Seasoning.

This looks yummy. Adding chicken to bruschetta is a great idea.
I made this and it’s one of my absolute favorites!! My entire family loves it!
Gosh, I’ve been looking about this specific topic for about an hour, glad i found it in your website! 🙂
This looks great, but I found it confusing. Most recipes use teaspoon fractions. I don’t have any measuring spoons for fractions of Tablespoons. Was this a typo?
Thanks so much! I loved this recipe. It’s quick and simple to make, and tastes YUMMY! My husband says “it’s a keeper”. The only thing I did differently was to add a clove of minced garlic.
Do this freeze well? It sounds yummy!
I have not tried to freeze it yet before. The only concern I would have is if the stuffing gets mushy. I would look online at some freezer cooking stuffing recipes to find out how they freezer cook the stuffing. If that does well then it would freezer cook just fine.
The stuffing was my concern as well. I’ll give it a try. BTW- congrats on the new baby 🙂
