Quick update: We have moved back home and finished unpacking. Things are getting normal again. I’m picking up the pace and working on some new recipes.

In the meantime, I’m very excited to share this recipe today. This chicken recipe is from my blogger friend Linda’s (Simply Healthyish Recipes) new cookbook, One-Pot Cooking For Two (available on Amazon). This book would come in handy for date night. I always struggle to figure out what to make for dinner for two. And most recipes out there are always targeted for four or more. I’m very excited that there are a lot of different options in this cookbook, like soup, vegetable main dish, seafood & snacks. It’s not hard to find something you will love. The book will be release on October 29, but you can pre-order right now! You can also enter the giveaway (instructions below)!

This chicken was so easy to make and it tasted amazing! Bruschetta flavors with chicken instead of bread. Brilliant idea! I love the chicken was first marinated in Italian seasoning , paprika, salt & olive oil. Then baked and topped with mozzarella. Melty cheese, fresh basil, sweet tomatoes, & savory chicken, they were perfect in one bite! I can’t wait to make this again.

Thank you Linda for giving me a copy to giveaway!

Bruschetta Grilled Chicken

Keyword baked chicken, baked chicken wings, bruschetta, bruschetta chicken, gluten free meal
Servings 2 people
Author Lokness

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 4 mozzarella cheese slices
  • 2 ripe tomatoes (sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil (chopped)
  • ½ tablespoon balsamic vinegar (divided)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of oil, paprika and Italian seasoning. Season generously with salt. Whisk to combine. Transfer to a large Ziploc bag. Add chicken, seal the bag and massage the chicken with marinade. Transfer to the fridge and sit for at least 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Set aside a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Remove the chicken from the Ziploc bag and wipe off any liquid. Place the chicken on the baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 15 – 20 minutes (165˚F internal temperature), or juices run clear when cut into the thickest part. Top each thigh with 1 slice of mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 2 – 3 minutes.
  • On each serving plate, place a few slices of tomatoes with 1 tablespoon basil. Drizzle with ¼ tablespoon balsamic vinegar and ½ tablespoon oil. Season with salt. Top with chicken and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  1. The original recipe uses chicken breast cutlets, but I like thighs more. Feel free to use chicken breast cutlets. Each cutlet should be about 4-ounce.
  2. I also double the meat. Since I double the meat, I need to double the marinade and cheese too. Original recipe only requires 2 chicken breast cutlets, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning & 2 slices of cheese.

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

❣️Always a multi-course tasting menu & changes often.
Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!

This location just opened a couple weeks ago. It’s a luxury to have a bakery like this in the neighborhood. I know I’ll be stopping by there all the time. Thinking about their croissant, lemon tart, brownie & baguette already! @tartinepasadena @tartinebakery
