Ingredients
for the chicken-
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup store bought italian flavored marinade
for the cucumber bruschetta-
- 1/2 cup peeled, diced english cucumber
- 2 roma tomatoes diced
- 8 basil leaves torn or chopped
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese shavings
- 1/8 teaspoon minced garlic optional
- 1 teaspoon good quality balsamic vinegar
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in plastic container or leak-proof food storage bag with italian flavored marinade. Stir to coat and refrigerate until ready to grill.
- Preheat outdoor grill to high. Lightly grease grill. Place chicken breasts on hot grill and reduce heat to medium. Cook about 5 minutes per side or until chicken is cooked thoroughly. {This really depends on the thickness of the chicken. Use a thermometer or cut it open to be sure you have it cooked all the way! You should see no pink!}
- While the chicken is cooking, chop up and stir together all the ingredients for the bruschetta topping.
- Remove chicken from the grill, cover with foil and let rest 5-10 minutes.
- When you are ready to serve, top chicken with cucumber bruschetta. Serve immediately.
