Ingredients needed
For this recipe, you will need:
- Chicken thighs (or chicken breast): For this recipe, I recommend using chicken thighs because they don’t dry out after being cooked in the crockpot. You can also use chicken breast if that’s what you have on hand.
- Olive oil and balsamic vinegar: For drizzling over the chicken.
- Red onion: You will need one small red onion, sliced.
- Canned tomatoes with spices: You’ll need one can of diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano, about 14.5 ounces.
- Italian spices, garlic, salt, and pepper: To season the chicken with.
- Fresh basil, mozzarella, Parmesan, and tomato: To top the chicken with before serving.
What to serve with this recipe
This bruschetta chicken goes great over pasta, risotto, toasted garlic bread, or an arugula salad.
