fancy food that was so fun-will make again!


Chicken and Sun dried Tomato Bruschetta
(from oneshetwoshe.com)



Ingredients:


  • 2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 1/4 cups of Italian dressing, divided
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese
  • 8 sun dried tomatoes, without oil chopped (mine were in oil and it tasted great!)
  • 1 loaf foccacia bread cut into 1/2 inch thick slices
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (I skipped this step)

Directions

  1. Place the chicken in a bowl with 1 cup of the dressing. Marinate for at least three hours. (I just threw one chicken breast in the crock pot with some of the dressing and cooked for a few hours).
  2. Cook the chicken. After the chicken has cooled a little, either shred it or cut it.
  3. Add chopped sun dried tomatoes, torn up spinach, feta and the rest of the dressing. Mix together.
  4. Cut up the bread and drizzle with olive oil. Broil until lightly toasted. Add the chicken mixture to the bread and serve!
This is something I fell in love with! So did Russell, and 1 out of 4 kids liked it. Sure, not a hit there, but the oldest has the most mature taste buds, and she liked it. I loved the contrast of flavors, and the dressing was excellent. This could be served as a dip as well. You can pretty much use as much of each ingredient (spinach, cheese, tomatoes, etc) as you like.
