Baked Bruschetta Chicken



4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts [I like to pound my to about 1/2 inch thickness, if you do this, reduce cook time to 20-25 minutes]

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

2 tsp garlic powder
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/2 tsp salt

3 tablespoons butter, melted


*Topping*
2 large tomatoes, sliced or diced

2 TB dried basil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon olive oil

 1/2 tsp salt
pepper to taste

*Optional* 1 cup [at least] Mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 9x13 baking dish. Place chicken into baking dish. Combine parmesan cheese, Panko, garlic powder, & melted butter then sprinkle on chicken. 30 minutes, or until top is browned and chicken is cooked through. Chop tomatoes and combine with last 4 ingredients. Spoon mixture over chicken, and return to oven for 7-10 minutes or until tomato mixture is heated through.
*I like to add a nice layer of shredded or sliced Mozzarella cheese over the pesto tomatoes in the final step* Nom,nom,nom!
