RECIPE BACKSTORY
After such a wonderful lunch with my Chicago Cookers & Bakers, I was inspired by the bruschetta that was served at our picnic for lunch. As a result, we had bruschetta chicken.
Here's my simple & light recipe for bruschetta chicken.
I served this with roasted asparagus
and mushroom risotto.
