Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes or Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup shredded or sliced mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • Balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. For grilling: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, until fully cooked.
  3. For baking: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake chicken for 20–25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. While chicken cooks, mix diced tomatoes, basil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl to create the bruschetta topping. Let sit to marinate.
  5. Once chicken is done, top each piece with the bruschetta mixture.
  6. If using cheese, add mozzarella and broil for 1–2 minutes until melted.
  7. Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Add chopped red onions or diced avocado for extra texture.
  • Skip the cheese for a lighter version or use feta for a tangier flavor.
  • Serve over pasta, quinoa, or greens for a heartier meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored for up to 3 days in the fridge.
  • Reheat chicken separately and use fresh bruschetta topping for best results.
