I had bought a can of tomatoes that I wound up not using, and I was dying to use them. When something sits in my cabinet too long I begin devising ways to use it. After searching the internet for ideas, bruschetta chicken came to mind. Normally I would have made it with fresh tomatoes but the canned ones were calling me. Using fresh ingredients with the canned would hopefully make a fresh tasting dish.
The first step was to bread and brown the chicken cutlets in breadcrumbs. After the chicken baked for several minutes, I added the bruschetta mixture and cheese. The mixture had the tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil in it. letting it marinade for almost an hour took away the canned flavor of the tomatoes. I also tossed the spaghetti with the bruschetta mix as a light sauce. The flavor was light and refreshing. I added a new chicken dish to my repertoire and another use for my basil plant.
