About the Ingredients for Low Carb Bruschetta Chicken

Tomatoes – Campari tomatoes are awesome for making brushetta because they are always flavourful and never mealy. Plum tomatoes are a good second choice if you can’t find campari. You can also substitute with halved cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes.

Red onion – You could also use shallots instead.

Basil – Fresh basil only, do not substitute with dry basil.

Garlic – The garlic isn’t getting cooked. so for those of you out there who triple the garlic in every recipe – maybe ease up a bit here.

Cheese – For the best flavour shred your own mozzarella.

Vinegar – Balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar is an OK substitute but for best flavour please just stick with balsamic. If you do use red wine vinegar, you will need to add about a half teaspoon of sugar or sugar substitute.

Chicken – Boneless, skinless chicken breasts is best here, if you use another cut of chicken you will need to adjust the cooking time accordingly. You can also grill the chicken if you prefer.

Seasoning – We are using a combination of salt, pepper, basil, parsley, onion powder, and garlic powder. You can substitute with Italian seasoning if you like.

Oil – We used avocado oil but olive oil is a good substitute.
