Instructions
Step 1: Prep
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Wash and dry all produce.
Place 1 TBSP butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, about 1 minute.
Stir in mozzarella, panko, Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Step 2: Roast Chicken
Lightly oil a baking sheet (or spray with nonstick cooking spray).
Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
Season with salt and pepper; place on one side of prepared sheet.
Mound mozzarella crust onto tops of chicken, pressing firmly to adhere.
Roast until crust is lightly browned, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: For a deeply golden crust, broil chicken for the last 2-3 minutes.
Step 3: Make Bruschetta
Meanwhile, zest and quarter lemon.
Finely dice tomato.
Pick basil leaves from stems; discard stems and thinly slice leaves.
In a small bowl, combine:
- Tomato
- Basil
- Juice from 2 lemon wedges
- Drizzle of olive oil
Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Finish and Serve
Divide chicken between plates.
Top chicken with bruschetta.
