BRUSCHETTA CHICKEN made low carb! This delicious chicken recipe is so simple, but it’s packing some serious flavor. This is amazing served over zucchini noodles or with a side salad.

Chicken is always a hit with my family, which you’ve probably noticed based on the number of low carb chicken recipes I’ve shared with you.
I love how much flavor comes from the simple ingredients in this chicken bruschetta recipe.
It’s easy, flavorful, and this dish is totally worthy of serving up to guests…it’s just that good!

This recipe comes together pretty quickly without a ton of hands on work, which makes it great for busy nights.
To start, you’ll want to whisk together a little balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt.
Pour that over some boneless, skinless chicken breasts and let it set for about 10 minutes while the oven preheats. This helps the chicken soak up all that flavor.
While the chicken is baking, slice some cherry tomatoes in half and toss them with a mix red onion, garlic, balsamic vinegar, oil, basil, and salt.
Make sure to use a balsamic vinegar with just 2 carbs per tablespoon. Some of them are packed with sugar.
We use this Pompeian vinegar.
Just try to resist sneaking a few bites of that tomato mixture! It’s seriously so good.
Once your chicken is cooked through, remove it from the oven and top it off with some mozzarella cheese and pour the tomato mixture right over the top.
Pop it back in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese and warm the tomatoes.
That’s it, my friends! This bruschetta chicken recipe is ready to devour.
How to serve:
You can serve this up with a giant side salad topped off with my homemade Italian dressing or you can serve it with a side of zoodles!
Most grocery stores carry already spiralized zucchini noodles, but I think fresh is best. They just have a better taste and texture in my opinion.
The spiralizer I use is no longer sold, but this one has great reviews and it’s what I’ll replace mine with if it ever dies.
This would also go great with my Instant Pot spaghetti squash.

Mel says
Is the 425 degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius???
Karly Campbell says
Fahrenheit.
Blake says
Can I use chicken thighs instead?
Karly Campbell says
Sure!
Susan Colburn says
There is way too much salt in this recipe, so I would not add any. I try to keep any recipe to 400 mg a serving. I will be trying it and cutting salt where I can. Sounds delicious.
Janet Brown says
Looks amazing ! Definitely going to try this one!
Karly Campbell says
Hope you love it!
Rhiannon says
Could I use chopped Roma tomatoes in place of the cherry tomatoes? Or do you think the flavor profile would change since they aren’t quite as sweet? Thanks!!
Karly Campbell says
I think that would work fine.
derek says
Am I able to just print out the recipe? I thought I was able to and it doesn’t seem to want to let me do that today.
Karly Campbell says
Hi Derek! You should be able to hit the print butter in the recipe card. It seems to be working fine on my end.
Elizabeth says
We tried this for our family of fussy eaters, they all loved it. I was surprised. They even ate the onion!!! This is so yummy. A big hit for our house hold
Karly Campbell says
Love to hear that!
Kathy Achtschin says
425 for boneless chicken seems really high. I usually cook it at 350. Doesn’t it dry out?
Karly Campbell says
Nope! It cooks for less time at a higher heat. ๐
Lisa DeBoer says
Do you bake the chicken covered? Or not covered?
Karly Campbell says
I bake the chicken uncovered.
Jackie Dobbs says
Have you ever used fresh mozzarella for this?
Karly Campbell says
No, but I’m sure it’d be amazing.
Jenn says
This is definitely a delish recipe! Will definitely being making this again. Super easy and healthy. I had prepped to make for a Wednesday and ended having to
postpone to the next day. Every time I opened the refrigerator all I smelled was the flavors of the bruschetta…I couldnโt wait to try it. My daughter loved it too!
Karly Campbell says
So glad you and your daughter enjoyed it, Jenn!
Pam says
Made this recipe last night as well as the broccoli salad and baked radishes. My daughter who first said no way to chicken ended up trying it and liking it. Thank you for developing these recipes
Karly Campbell says
Thanks, Pam! Glad it was a success with your daughter!
Judith Kelly says
Made this for dinner last night! Very pretty, very delicious and very healthy! I served it with a caesar salad because I had to use up stuff in the fridge. We were full! Definitely making this one again and I would do it for company too!
Gail says
You omitted the garlic listed in ingredients for chicken. Is it part of the marinade?
Karly Campbell says
Whoops, yes, it’s part of the marinade. I’ll update that. ๐
Debe says
All your videos come to me all jumbled hard to watch ,What I could get it looks good
Karly Campbell says
Hmm, not sure why the videos would show up jumbled. Maybe try viewing from a different browser or device?
Julie L Cain says
Can the chicken be prepared and then everything else added the next day? Thank you!!
Karly Campbell says
Yes, I think that would fine.
Julie L Cain says
Can I cook the chicken the night before and add the rest and serve the next day?
Karly Campbell says
Oh, I think I misunderstood your question. I’m not sure how well it would work to cook the chicken and then add the remaining ingredients. The tomatoes only go in to warm them up for 5 minutes or so. If your chicken is cold, it’s going to take a lot longer to heat in the oven and will probably dry out.
