Preheat your oven. Toss halved baby potatoes with 1 tbsp avocado oil, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast until tender and golden.
While potatoes roast, season chicken breasts on both sides with 1 tbsp avocado oil, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the chicken breasts for a few minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Transfer the seared chicken to a baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven or an air fryer until cooked through.
To make the bruschetta topping, combine diced tomatoes, chopped fresh basil, and minced garlic in a bowl.
Add balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to the tomato mixture and stir to combine. Set aside.
Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into strips. Top the sliced chicken with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Return the cheese-topped chicken to the oven or broiler and cook for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Assemble the meal prep bowls by dividing the roasted potatoes among four containers. Top with the cheesy chicken slices and a generous scoop of the fresh bruschetta mixture.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving.

Yes. Store assembled bowls in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Add balsamic glaze just before eating to prevent sogginess.
After searing, transfer to the oven or air fryer and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F at the thickest part.
Yes. Provolone or Italian blend cheese work well and melt similarly, though mozzarella is traditional for bruschetta-inspired dishes.
The recipe uses boneless, skinless chicken breasts. If using bone-in or skin-on, add 5–10 minutes to the oven cooking time.
You can finish the seared chicken in a covered skillet on low heat instead, though an oven or air fryer ensures even cooking and proper cheese melting.
