Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, diced
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil, chopped
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Large mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, 2 minced garlic cloves, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade evenly over the chicken breasts on both sides and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the bruschetta topping by combining diced cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, Parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt, and the remaining minced garlic in a bowl. Stir and set aside.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Push the mushrooms to the side of the skillet and add the chicken breasts, searing each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Top each chicken breast with the bruschetta mixture and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the bruschetta chicken and mushrooms with your choice of sides, such as garlic bread, pasta, or a fresh green salad.
