- 2 tablespoon garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

- 4 large tomatoes (seeded and finely diced, roma)
- ½ small red onion (finely minced)
- 2 cloves garlic (finely grated)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 - 10 fresh basil leaves (julienned)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- ¼ teaspoon salt

Balsamic Glaze (Homemade or Store-bought)

Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl add all of the bruschetta topping ingredients. Mix until evenly combined. Set aside in the fridge while you prepare the chicken.
- In a large Ziploc bag or container add all of the marinade ingredients. Mix until evenly combined. Add in the chicken breast and mix until evenly coated.
- Preheat grill/BBQ to 375ºF. See notes for oven baking, pan frying or air fried cooking method.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow the excess marinade to drip off the chicken and then place on the hot grill.
- Grill the chicken over direct heat for 4-5 minutes, or until grill marks have browned. Brush the chicken with remaining marinade and then flip the chicken. Grill for an additional 4-5 minutes over direct heat or until grill marks have browned.
- Move the chicken to the other side of the grill over indirect heat and allow them to cook for an additional 8 - 10 minutes.
- When the chicken is almost fully cooked, approximately 155ºF – 160ºF, add a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese on the center of each piece of chicken. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or, until the chicken reaches 165ºF and the mozzarella cheese has melted. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- If using homemade balsamic glaze, add the balsamic vinegar and sugar to a small saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil. Once boiling reduce heat to low and simmer for 8 - 10 minutes or until thickened.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Spoon the bruschetta topping over each piece of chicken and drizzle balsamic glaze over top. Serve and enjoy!
