Parmesan-Crusted Bruschetta Chicken

Hellmann’s has some “twists” on classic recipes that will inspire you to do a little something different in the kitchen tonight! If you like bruschetta – and juicy chicken – then this recipe is for you!

This chicken was so good… light and fresh, but rich-tasting, too. The mayo/cheese mixture added a nice creaminess! My kids weren’t big on this, since they don’t like tomatoes, but this was probably my favorite dish out of the three I tested (go back and read my posts about Hellmann’s Cranberry Orange Stuffing-Crusted Chicken and Succulent Chicken Parmesan!) I’ll definitely make this again! The only thing I’d change is that I’d probably add a little more basil. 😉 Hellmann’s original recipe is printed below. BUT FIRST! Watch this video to see how I made it… so easy and in just about 20 minutes.
