Ingredients
  

Fresh Tomato Topping
  • 1 cup Roma tomatoes, finely cubed
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 small Shallot, minced
  • 3 leaves Fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil Divided into two portions
  • ½ tsp Salt Or to taste
  • ½ tsp Pepper Or to taste
  • 2 large Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless Cut in half lengthwise
  • 4 slices Mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup Balsamic glaze

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the tomatoes, garlic, shallot, basil, and half of the salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Set aside.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Once the chicken is cooked, top each breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt, which should take about 1 minute. Remove the chicken from the heat.
  4. Top each piece of chicken with the prepared bruschetta mixture and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Feel free to use provolone or fontina instead of mozzarella for a different cheese flavor.
  • If you're short on time, you can skip making the bruschetta topping and use store-bought salsa instead.
