Instructions
Bake the chicken:
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Grease a large baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

Cup of Yum
Make the Tomato Bruschetta:
- While the chicken bakes, in a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, red onion, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and basil. Toss to combine.
Combine:
- Remove the chicken from the oven and carefully top with shredded cheese and the tomato bruschetta.
- Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for 5-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden-brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest before drizzling with the balsamic reduction.
Notes
- If you'd like to make the balsamic reduction, combine 1 cup balsamic vinegar and 3 tablespoons brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 8 minutes until the sauce thickens and is reduced by half.
