Recipe Summary Hunt's&Reg; Bruschetta Chicken Skillet

Chicken breasts with diced tomatoes, cheese, and basil are cooked in tomato sauce, then topped with croutons just before serving for the flavor of bruschetta.

Ingredients | Treasure Hunt Ideas For Kids

1 (14.5 ounce) can Hunt's® Petite Diced Tomatoes, drained

¾ cup shredded Italian cheese blend or mozzarella cheese

¼ cup chopped fresh basil

5 (5 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 (8 ounce) can Hunt's® Tomato Sauce

1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic

2 cups small garlic- or Italian-flavored croutons, crushed slightly

Directions

Stir together drained tomatoes, cheese, and basil in a medium bowl; set aside.

Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a 1/2-inch thickness. Top evenly with tomato mixture, pressing onto chicken.

Combine tomato sauce and garlic in large skillet; add chicken. Bring sauce to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center and measures 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.

Top with croutons just before serving.

Don't have a meat mallet to pound the chicken? Use the side of a clean, label-free can or a rolling pin instead.

Chicken breast tenders may be used in place of breasts with no pounding needed. Place tomato sauce and garlic in skillet; top with 1 1/2 pound tenders. Spoon diced tomato mixture over tenders. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165 degrees F. Top with croutons.
