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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

While the chicken cooks, prepare the bruschetta topping. Dice the roma tomatoes into small pieces and finely chop the fresh basil leaves.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Preheat your broiler to high, or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 7

Place the grilled chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Spoon an even amount of the bruschetta topping over each piece of chicken.

Step 8

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the bruschetta topping on each chicken breast.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve immediately, optionally garnished with additional fresh basil leaves if desired.
