Ingredients
- 1 cup tomatoes finely cubed (such as roma tomatoes)
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 shallot minced
- 3 leaves basil finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon olive oil divided
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- 2 large chicken breasts boneless, skinless cut in half lengthwise
- 4 lices mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup balsamic glaze
Instructions
- In a medium size bowl, mix the tomato, garlic, shallot, basil, and half of each the salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp of the olive oil. Taste for seasoning and set aside.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet. Add chicken to the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 min per side until browned. When chicken is cooked, top each piece with a slice of mozzarella cheese. Cover with a lid and allow to melt. Remove from heat.
- Top each chicken breast with bruschetta and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Notes
- It's best to store the chicken and bruschetta separately. Transfer leftovers to airtight containers and store in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- To reheat, use either the microwave or the oven. Place the chicken in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake at 400F for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
- The chicken will last in the freezer, stored in an airtight container or large freezer bag, for 4 months. The chicken will reheat best when thawed overnight in the fridge first.
- The bruschetta will not freeze well! This part is best kept fresh. When the tomatoes are frozen and thaw out, they will get quite watery and mushy.
