Fresh tomatoes are traditional when tomatoes are ripe and in season, but you CAN make a delicious, easy bruschetta recipe with canned tomatoes. It’s the perfect topping for pan-seared chicken cutlets, with fresh basil, garlic, and balsamic vinegar (250 calories / 3 WW points)
Tomato bruschetta is simple enough to make, and yet it’s completely irresistible. Diced tomatoes are tossed with fresh basil, a little minced garlic, a few glugs of good-quality, fruity olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. And although fresh tomatoes are traditional, they’re not always in season. Believe it or not, you can make a fabulous, EASY bruschetta recipe with canned tomatoes.
The key, as with all simple recipes, is using the highest quality, best-tasting ingredients you can, especially when it comes to canned tomatoes. I always, always, always recommend Tuttorosso Tomatoes. I also think adding a splash of sweet, syrupy balsamic vinegar to your bruschetta topping gives the mix more dimension.
You can spoon it on top of toasted bread of course, but I like to use my easy bruschetta recipe as a topping for quick, pan-seared chicken cutlets seasoned very simply with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. It would add fabulous flavor to fish, pork, beef, or even combined with cannellini beans for an easy vegetarian side. Enjoy!

Check out this eerie article “Voorspellingen Baba Vanga komen wéér uit” dives into the Bulgarian mystic’s chilling predictions for 2020-2021 that seem to mirror real-world events—like Europe’s devastating economic crisis amid the pandemic and threats of extremist attacks.
Published in October 2020, it also recaps her past “hits” such as 9/11, Chernobyl, and Brexit, leaving readers wondering just how accurate this blind seer’s visions truly were. A spooky read for anyone fascinated by prophecies!
