Grilled Chicken and Veggie Bruschetta

June 20, 2016 By Patricia 62 Comments

Ahhh, summer! I’m sure your grill is lit as much as mine this time of year, cooking up all those wonderful summer meals. This recipe for Grilled Chicken and Veggie Bruschetta is made entirely on the grill, and it makes a scrumptious appetizer or light meal, perfect on warm summer nights.

Grilled Chicken and Veggie Bruschetta is perfect for any summer meal!
I’ve partnered with Honest Cooking, Santa Rita Wines, and Badia Spices on this seasonal recipe as part of the 120 Days of Summer feature. I was compensated for this post, but all opinions are 100% my own. Thank you for supporting the brands I love.

So, yeah. Summer. The ultimate season when everyone kicks back, enjoys the sun, and welcomes that special take on meals where the grill rules and the oven drools. I’m right there with you!

This recipe for Grilled Chicken and Veggie Bruschetta is definitely summer worthy. Not only did I include white wine from Santa Rita in the marinade (I used its sauvignon blanc) and a wonderful dried seasoning from Badia, but I enjoyed drinking the white wine along with Santa Rita’s Hero’s Salute red blend when I served the bruschetta. I find both great alongside chicken.

I figure, once the grill is on and going, why not use it to prepare as much as possible for your meal? That’s where this bruschetta comes into play. The grill isn’t just for chicken and burgers, but it’s great for making veggies better, too (if possible). I love how it chars them and adds even more sweetness.

Easy prep pairs with the ease of grilling to make this dish hard to resist. Flavors and colors play a big role in this brushetta, too, once again adding to summer fun.

I love Grilled Chicken and Veggie Bruschetta for those times when you’re looking for a flavorful starter, or when you’re looking for a lighter-yet-filling meal. This is the perfect dish to serve when you’re gathered with friends and family, kicking back on the patio and enjoying the season.

Get up close with these Grilled Chicken and Veggie Bruschetta!

Ingredients

    For the marinade1/3 cup white wine (I used Santa Rita 120 Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1 tablespoon dried seasoning (I used Badia Complete Seasoning) http://www.badiaspices.com/ready-made-blends/complete-seasoning/
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • For the bruschetta2 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 ears corn, cleaned
  • 3 tomatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves garlic, skin on
  • 4 green bulb onions, whole
  • 1 loaf French bread, cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • Salt and black pepper for seasoning
  • Parsley for garnish
  • Aluminum foil

Instructions

  1. Add the chicken breasts to a large, plastic zippered baggie along with all the marinade ingredients. Close the bag and massage the mixture a bit with your hands.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, use a few sheets of aluminum foil to shape into a “basket” with curled up edges. Add the tomatoes and garlic and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and season with a bit of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
  4. Use 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to brush one side of each slice of bread and set aside.
  5. Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for about 12 minutes or until done, turning once. Note: The FDA recommends that a safe internal temperature for chicken is 165 degrees F, as measured with a meat thermometer. Remove the chicken when done and keep warm.
  6. Brush the corn and the green onions with about 1 tablespoon of oil and season with a bit of salt and pepper. Place them directly on the grill, along with the basket of tomatoes and garlic.
  7. Grill for several minutes, turning the corn and onions, or until a char develops. Remove from the grill. Turn off the grill, but while it’s still hot, add the bread to the grill, oiled side down. Remove it once toasted.
  8. Cut the chicken into small cubes and set aside. Carefully cut the kernels off the corn and add to a bowl. Dice the onions (all but the ends of the greens) and tomato, and remove the garlic from their skins and slice. Add the vegetables to the bowl with the corn.
  9. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the mixture along with the lime juice. Toss to combine.
  10. Add the bread to a flat platter and spoon the cubed chicken over the top of each. Add a few heaping tablespoons of the vegetable mixture over the chicken, garnish with parsley, and serve.
