Bruschetta Chicken

My goal for Devyn this month is to have him cook something every day before he heads off to college.  He has made some delicious food. This chicken dish from Taste of Home was wonderful.  We decided it would be a great "date night" dinner--fancy but simple and very tasty.


1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
1 tablespoon butter, melted
2 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped
3 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Place flour and eggs in separate shallow bowls.  In a third bowl, combine bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.  Dip chicken in flour, then eggs; coat with bread crumb mixture.

Place chicken in a greased 13" x 9" baking dish.  Drizzle with butter.  Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170 degrees.

In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients.  Spoon tomato mixture over the chicken.  Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes or until tomato mixture is heated through.
