Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 medium Fresh tomatoes
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and the Italian seasoning.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and sear the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the pan and let it rest.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the bruschetta topping. Dice the tomatoes into small cubes and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Chop the fresh basil leaves and mince the garlic. Add both to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the tomato mixture. Stir well to combine.
To serve, place each chicken breast on a plate and spoon the bruschetta mixture generously over the top.
Optional: Sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese over the bruschetta topping for extra flavor.
Serve immediately with a side of garlic bread or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
