Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin between two sheets of plastic wrap.
Drizzle the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season both sides with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, dice the Roma tomatoes and finely chop the fresh basil leaves.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic. Mix well and set aside.
When the chicken is done baking, top each piece with a generous spoonful of the tomato-basil mixture.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomato topping, then return the skillet to the oven for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy the fresh, flavorful taste of Easy Bruschetta Chicken!
