- In a large skillet, over medium heat, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken to the skillet and saute for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165ºF on a food thermometer.
- Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low and top each chicken with a slice of cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until cheese melts.
- Remove the chicken from heat. Top each chicken breast with the Bruschetta and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
