Ingredients
For the Chicken:
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Bruschetta Topping:
-
2 cups diced tomatoes (Roma or cherry)

-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
-
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
-
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
Rub with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
Grill over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).
Alternatively, pan-sear in a skillet or bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes.
Step 3: Make the Bruschetta Topping
In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, onions, garlic, basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Toss gently and let sit for 5–10 minutes to let the flavors blend.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve
Top each cooked chicken breast with a generous scoop of the tomato mixture.
Optional: Drizzle with extra balsamic reduction or serve with a side of crusty bread.
