Frequently asked questions
How do I store leftover bruschetta chicken without it getting soggy?
Store the grilled chicken and tomato topping separately in airtight containers. Combine only before serving to keep textures crisp. It’s one of the most effective food storage tips for this dish.
Can I make this dairy-free?
Absolutely. Just skip the cheese or use a dairy-free substitute. It’s still a simple Italian dinner recipe that holds up without cheese.
My chicken is drying out. What am I doing wrong?
You’re probably overcooking it or skipping the resting period. Let grilled chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to lock in juices. It’s a small step with a huge flavor payoff.
