  1. Pat chicken dry cut horizontally down the middle to make 4 breasts. Season both sides with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive over medium-high heat in a cast iron skillet (or a good quality skillet). Add the garlic and stir around until fragrant, then add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 155F*). Remove from heat and set aside on a plate. 
For the Bruschetta:
