chicken
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 120 grams mozzarella cheese, sliced or grated
bruschetta
- 4 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup red onion, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped
- Parmesan, freshly grated, to serve
potatoes
- 1 pound baby potatoes, roughly 20 potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, salt and black pepper, toss to combine, and then transfer to a large baking sheet.
- In the same bowl, combine the chicken breasts, olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and sea salt. Using your hands or tongs, toss the chicken in the spices until well coated. (If time permits, you could do this ahead of time and allow it to sit for up to 24 hours for extra flavour.)
- Add chicken to the same baking sheet as the potatoes, leaving space in between each chicken breast so that they cook evenly. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and allow to cook for 20 minutes.
- While the chicken and potatoes are cooking, in a separate bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and half of the basil. Stir until well to combine and set aside.
- After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven, flip each chicken breast over and give the potatoes a good toss.
- Top each chicken breast with shredded / sliced mozzarella and big spoonful of the tomato mixture until it has all been used. (You can also wait and top the chicken breasts with the cold tomato mixture once they are cooked, but I prefer it a bit warm.) Return the baking sheet to the oven and allow to cook for another 10 minutes until chicken is golden and cheese is bubbly.
- Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle each chicken breast with remaining fresh basil and a bit of parmesan to serve.
- This dish can be served immediately, stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer in airtight containers for up to 3 months.

I ave made this a number of times and it is absolutely delicious and easy to make!
Oh my gosh , I love Bruschetta and this gave me all the flavors without eating a whole loaf of bread to go with it! This is my first Stephanie Kay recipe and it was a 5 out of 5! I added some frozen green beans to the potatoes for a vegetable and more color and they had the best flavoring too. This will become a go to meal for sure!
This looks great!!!
I can’t wait to make it!!!!
Thanks!!!!
This is one of my go-tos. Easy to make and so delicious.
This just sounds so delicious. Could you recommend a substitute for the balsamic vinegar? I just cannot tolerate it in my mouth; still haven’t figured out why (allergy?) but it does something to my tongue. Would regular vinegar do?
Great question! It’s mostly incorporated for flavour so you could easily omit it completely OR swap it for equal parts red wine vinegar OR 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
SO good! This was the best recipe I’ve made in a while. 10/10!!!! I didn’t have balsamic vinegar but I had a balsamic glaze that I topped the chicken with when it came out of the oven. The potatoes were so good, too! Really enjoyed this.
My teenager and I made this recipe together. We loved it! This is definitely one we’ll keep making. Thanks!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it, thanks for sharing!
Delicious, whole family enjoyed this. Empty plates all round
Happy to hear it! 🙂
Love this recipe! So flavourful & nutritious. Easy to prepare & sheet pan dinners make clean-up a breeze. I like to add asparagus spears for the last 10-15 minutes of roasting time.
So happy you enjoyed it and love the addition of asparagus!
Amazing!!!!! This is so easy and full of flavor!!! I love that I can make this ahead and have meals for the week.
Thank you for sharing, Sandy!
