Ingredients
Bruschetta
- 2 roma tomatoes diced
- 2 tablespoons red onion minced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning click link for the recipe
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella thinly sliced
Instructions
Bruschetta
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Place in the refrigerator.
Chicken
- Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise through the middle. Each piece of chicken should be about 1/2 inch thick. If they’re thicker than this, you’ll want to use a meat tenderizer to pound them down before starting this recipe.
- Season the chicken evenly on all sides with Italian seasoning and salt.
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet on the stove over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Place two thin slices of mozzarella cheese over each of the pieces of chicken, cover the skillet and allow the cheese to melt over the chicken for 1-2 minutes.
- Once melted, remove the lid and top each piece of chicken with about ¼ cup bruschetta. Serve immediately, optionally topped with more chopped fresh basil and grated parmesan cheese.
Notes
- All of the ingredients in this recipe are naturally gluten free. If you’d like to make the recipe dairy-free, you can omit the mozzarella cheese topping.
- Always make sure that the skillet is hot before adding the chicken, or it won’t achieve the crust we’re looking for, and it won’t cook in 5 minutes per side.
