Jenny Craig Recipe Creation: Open-Faced Chicken Bruschetta

Special thanks to Jenny Craig for their sponsorship of this post.

If you’re new here to this blog, I hope you’re not alarmed by the number of tomatoes I add to my meals.  The truth is: summer tomatoes are my favorite and come in so many shapes, sizes, and colors, that I just can’t help myself.

Seriously, who wouldn’t enjoy this dish?

My mom mentioned to me a few weeks back that she was making some chicken bruschetta for dinner and it inspired me to make this dish.  Very simply, I combined chopped tomatoes with fresh basil and a little balsamic vinegar.  I paired it with the Jenny Craig Chicken Sandwich… and voila, a snacky (and tasty!) dinner was born.

Ingredients

  

• 1 Jenny Craig Chicken Sandwich
• cooking spray
• 1 sprinkle garlic powder
• 8 cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 2 leaves basil, cut into chiffonade
• 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 drizzle balsamic glaze

Instructions

 

• In a small bowl, combine your quartered tomatoes, basil, and balsamic vinegar. Smash lightly with a fork and add a dash of garlic powder and salt. Set aside.
• Cook your Jenny Craig Chicken Sandwich per package instructions.
• Separate the chicken from the bun, and thinly slice the filet. Note: I slice on a slight angle to create thinly sliced, stackable pieces.
• Spray the bun very lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle with garlic powder. Place in a skillet prepared with cooking spray and lightly toast at medium heat. Note: This only takes a minute or two, but will crisp up your bun nicely without overly toasting it.
• Build your bruschetta by adding the chicken slices, then topping with the beautiful tomato mixture. Drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze and add freshly cracked black pepper if desired.
