Ingredients
  

  • 4 6-oz boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3-4 medium ripe tomatoes (about 1 lb), cored, seeded, and chopped to a ½” dice
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon thinly sliced basil leaves
  • ground pepper to taste
  • balsamic glaze to taste, optional

Method
 

  1. Start the bruschetta by combining the chopped tomatoes with salt and garlic in a mixing bowl; mix well and let sit while the chicken cooks.
  2. Place one chicken breast onto parchment paper, fold over, and pound to an even thickness of just under 1 inch. Repeat with all chicken breasts.
  3. In a small bowl, combine italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
  4. Brush chicken breasts with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle seasoning blend on both sides.
  5. To Grill: Heat grill or grill pan over high heat. Cook chicken 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and rest for 5 minutes.
  6. To Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roast chicken 10-12 minutes until internal temperature is 165°F. Remove and rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Finish the bruschetta topping by stirring in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh basil, and ground pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Top cooked chicken breasts with bruschetta mixture and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use the freshest tomatoes and basil you can find. This dish pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
