Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Bruschetta Topping:
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, diced

Optional Toppings:
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella or shaved Parmesan cheese
- Balsamic glaze for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Prepare the Bruschetta Topping: While the chicken cooks, combine diced cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, chopped basil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
- Top the Chicken: Once chicken is cooked, top each piece with the bruschetta mixture. Add mozzarella or Parmesan if desired and let melt slightly.
- Serve: Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving and garnish with extra basil. Serve hot.
Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Grill for 5–6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and chicken is cooked through.
