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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, 2 minced garlic cloves, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Brush the marinade evenly over the chicken breasts on both sides and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Push the mushrooms to the side of the skillet and add the chicken breasts, searing each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

Step 7

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and let it simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Top each chicken breast with the bruschetta mixture and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 9

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).

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve the bruschetta chicken and mushrooms with your choice of sides, such as garlic bread, pasta, or a fresh green salad.
