Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

  • 4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts see note 1
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

Bruschetta Topping

  • 1 pound cherry tomatoes quartered
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Bruschetta Chicken

  • 4 mozzarella slices

Instructions

  • Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Pour it over the chicken, toss to combine, and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours).

  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, toss together the tomatoes, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper.

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add them to the skillet. Cook for 10 minutes on each side or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. (Note that there will be a fair amount of caramelization on the chicken from the marinade. It's delicious!) Top with mozzarella cheese and allow to melt. Add the tomato mixture on top, serve, and enjoy.
    4 mozzarella

Notes

If your chicken is thicker than 1 inch you will want to pound it thin with a meat mallet. This will help it cook more evenly.
