Bruschetta has been around nearly forever. For those you not familiar with bruschetta, it is a popular Italian appetizer consisting of grilled bread slices topped with an assortment of different things. There any many different types of bruschetta (and I plan on making others) but this one is chicken. The French bread slices are first brushed with olive oil, grilled for a short period of time and then topped with a chicken and Italian dressing mixture. I grilled the chicken, but if you have any leftover chicken, this is a great way to make good use of it. The leftover chicken will not have as much flavor because it is not marinated but it will still be good! You can also use the oven for the bread and the chicken instead of the grill if you want. Bruschetta makes a great appetizer for any party. Enjoy.
