Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 medium roma tomatoes
- 0.25 cups fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and set aside to rest.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the bruschetta topping. Dice the roma tomatoes into small pieces and finely chop the fresh basil leaves.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic cloves, balsamic vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir well and set aside.
Preheat your broiler to high, or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the grilled chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Spoon an even amount of the bruschetta topping over each piece of chicken.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the bruschetta topping on each chicken breast.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes (or in the oven for 8-10 minutes) until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve immediately, optionally garnished with additional fresh basil leaves if desired.
