Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp balsamic glaze
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
Instructions
1. Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
3. While chicken cooks, mix tomatoes, basil, garlic, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
4. Top each chicken breast with bruschetta mixture and sprinkle with mozzarella. Cover skillet 1-2 minutes until cheese melts.
5. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve immediately.
Notes
Use thin-cut chicken to reduce cooking time.
Pre-shredded mozzarella and pre-washed tomatoes save prep time.
Chicken thighs or rotisserie chicken can be used as substitutes.
For dairy-free, skip cheese or use vegan mozzarella.
Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days; reheat gently.
