Hunt's® Bruschetta Chicken Skillet

Submitted by Hunts

"Chicken breast with diced tomatoes, cheese and basil cooked in tomato sauce, then topped with croutons just before serving for the flavor of bruschetta. Don't have a meat mallet to pound the chicken? Use the side of a clean, label-free can or a rolling pin instead."

My family loved this. Definitely planning on putting it into the family rotation of meals. I used cubed chicken instead of breast to be more kid friendly (with my kids who hate to cut meat). Turned out great, and I loved it too. Great way to use up the fresh basil in my garden too.
