Review: Chicken Bruschetta Aug 2000

I know this is from last summer, but it is WONDERFUL! We really love this recipe and it's fairly easy to put together -even on a night when I don't get home early.

It also reheats well as leftovers the next day!

I agree! This is one that has made our "index" of recipes to revisit! It is wonderful, with late-summer veggies. YUM! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

Chicken bruschetta sounds wonderful. I didn't start getting CL until Sept. so would you mind posting the recipe? TIA

This is another favorite at our house as well! One of the few readers recipes that I've really enjoyed.

Happy to share it with you!
Enjoy! We like to get crusty Italian bread to put the "extra" sauce on while we eat! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

Just thought I'd chime in--I made this last year and also thought it was fabulous. I will definitely be making it again this summer.
