Jenny Craig Recipe Creation: Open-Faced Chicken Bruschetta | No Thanks to Cake

There's something special about bruschetta, especially made with summer tomatoes and fresh basil.

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.
