When you need a fresh, light, and speedy meal, this grilled bruschetta chicken recipe is it! Meals here lately have been quick, and this easy bruschetta chicken is a family favorite. Grilling this balsamic bruschetta chicken is great this time of year, so that you don’t have to cook anything inside and it imparts delicious grilled flavor.
And of course, there are all the fresh veggies! My healthy bruschetta chicken is served over zucchini noodles and then topped with a flavorful bruschetta topping. I think you’ll love this chicken bruschetta recipe as much as we do!
The star here is obviously the bruschetta. In the summer months, I like to add in a handful of cherry tomatoes along with the Roma, which gives the grilled chicken breast a bright pop of color. Plus, I just can’t resist cherry tomatoes! Tomatoes, olive oil, basil, and salt is all you need!
If you or your family are okay with a touch of dairy, a sprinkle of feta adds a lovely richness to the dish! That is how the recipe was photographed and written initially. However, I’ve removed the optional feta from the recipe card since it’s not actually paleo.
What Is Bruschetta Chicken?
Bruschetta chicken is an Italian dish that is known for chicken covered in tomatoes, olive oil, and seasonings.
Many recipes for chicken and bruschetta have mozzarella cheese, but we’re skipping that in this chicken bruschetta recipe to make it paleo. You can add it in if you can tolerate a little dairy.
How To Make Bruschetta Chicken
This balsamic bruschetta is really simple to make. The longest part is letting the chicken soak in the marinade.
Here are the easy steps for how to make bruschetta chicken:
- Make the marinade for chicken. Mix together the olive oil, vinegar, and salt and pour it over the chicken. Refrigerate.
- Grill the chicken. After the chicken is done, allow it to rest.
- Make bruschetta. Toss the tomatoes and basil together and season with olive oil, and salt to taste.
- Spiralize the zucchini noodles. You’ll toss these with olive oil and salt and divide into bowls.
- Finish your easy bruschetta bowls. Top the zucchini noodles with bruschetta mix and grilled chicken.
Is Bruschetta Served Hot Or Cold?
The bruschetta for this grilled boneless chicken breast can actually be served hot or cold. You can warm it up if you want, but I serve the bruschetta in this chicken bruschetta at room temperature, which is the best for tomatoes!
How Many Carbs Are In Healthy Bruschetta Chicken?
Healthy bruschetta chicken only has 6 grams of carbohydrates. So if you are eating a paleo diet that is also low carb, this one’s for you. The full nutrition stats are below, but here are the highlights:
- 412 calories per serving of balsamic bruschetta chicken.
- 38 grams of protein in this grilled bruschetta chicken.
- 6 grams carbohydrates (and 5 grams net carbs!)
How Do You Store This Chicken Bruschetta Recipe?
Store this chicken bruschetta recipe in the refrigerator.
TIP: It’s best if you store each ingredient separately if you hadn’t previously mixed it together. If you did mix all the ingredients together, that’s fine as well, it’s just easier if you want to heat up the chicken if it’s separate.
Place the balsamic bruschetta chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The healthy bruschetta chicken will last 2-3 days in the fridge.
When you are ready to eat it, you can warm the chicken up in the microwave or in a skillet. The toppings can be eaten hot or cold.
Can You Freeze Grilled Bruschetta Chicken?
Yes, you can freeze the grilled bruschetta chicken. It will last 1-2 months and heat it up in the oven until hot to serve again.
The zucchini noodles and bruschetta mixture are best fresh. If you have extra chicken, you can always make up some new zucchini noodles and fresh bruschetta.

- The recipe was already written with a sprinkle of goat feta cheese, but this was removed since it's not paleo. Feel free to add it if you can tolerate a bit of dairy.
- Nutrition info includes only half of the balsamic and olive oil that's in the chicken marinade, because most of it gets left behind and is not actually consumed.
