Bruschetta Chicken
Summer is right around the corner and that means tomatoes are going to be back in season. Before we left France, the tomatoes were delicious looking so I made a big batch of bruschetta and then made some bruschetta chicken with it for dinner. It was full of flavor and completely refreshing – absolutely perfect for the spring and summer seasons when you want something light to eat.
I made the original recipe for Simple Tomato Basil Bruschetta a while back for a big event – a library fundraiser. The original recipe was for a crowd of about 50 and I just recently added a smaller version of the recipe to the original post. You could easily make the whole back and use half for the Bruschetta Chicken and the other half for bruschetta on crostini.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt & pepper
1 recipe Simple Tomato Basil Bruschetta
Instructions
- Prepare bruschetta according to recipe directions - refrigerate until ready to use.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet over medium-high, heat olive oil.
- Add chicken breasts and sauté until juices run clear - about 4 to 5 minutes per side depending on thickness.
- Once chicken is cooked, top with a large serving of bruschetta.

Thursday Things: La Baule, Le Puy du Fou & Goodbyes
Right now we’re in Paris tonight waiting to leave for Canada in the morning. It’s be a long time since the hockey season ended and we had a lot of time to make great memories with our friends here.
Last week, we took a day trip to the beach at La Baule. It was about an hour drive there, and we spent the afternoon sitting on the beach taking in the sun, enjoyed a great dinner and then stopped by the casino for a little bit.
We also took a trip to Le Puy du Fou, which is a historical theme park with all different sorts of shows and little time-warped villages where they sell [overpriced] artisan goods. While the shows were a bit ridiculous and geared toward children, there were still pretty impressive and fun to watch. Plus we got to spend the day doing something new.
My favorite of all the shows was La Bal des Oiseaux Fantomes (The Dance of the Phantom Birds). At one point during the show there was about 100 birds – maybe more – flying just above our heads and swooping one way or another. All sorts of cool birds too – owls, eagles, vultures, condors, and more.
The rest of our days in Angers were spent hanging out with friends and packing our things for the summer. We still aren’t sure where we’ll be next year so I’m really thankful that we were able to spend some much time with the great friends we have made over our last three years here. It’s always hard saying goodbye, but the memories make it a little bit easier.
Our next few months will be spent visiting family and friends and enjoying the summer. Who knows what the future will hold for us after the summer, but I’m excited for this next chapter at home.
