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.
