Chicken Bruschetta Bake



I recently came across this recipe and we love it! I love all the fresh ingredients and how quickly it goes together!



Here's what you need for a 8x8 pan:

1/2 bag of baby spinach
olive oil
4-5 oz Feta cheese
3 roma tomatoes
3 chicken breast
1/2 stick of butter (Or 2T butter and 1.5T Grapeseed oil)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 t. each of dried basil, salt and pepper
1/2 loaf of crusty french bread

Place  spinach in greased 8 x 8 pan. Drizzle with olive oil.  Top with feta and tomato.







Melt the butter and add garlic and grapeseed oil.



(Just discovered grapeseed oil and I am hooked! Better for you than even olive oil. Read more about health benefits here.)
Add the salt, pepper and basil.




Dip the chicken in the butter/oil mixture to coat.



Place chicken in pan on other ingredients. Pour any extra butter mixture on top of the chicken.




Chop the french bread into 1 1/1" pieces.  Place on top of chicken until covered.





Bake 50-60 minutes at 350 degrees or until bread is golden.

Enjoy!
