Recipe Makes (Approximate):
Ingredients
- 4 Roma tomatoes (seeded and diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ tablespoons fresh cracked pepper
For the Chicken
- 4 medium chicken breasts (uniformly sized)
- 1 tablespoon salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or vegetable oil)
Instructions
- Stir together all the bruschetta ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside. If desired, gently pour out excess liquid after a few minutes, if the tomatoes are very watery.
- Season both sides of the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
- Stovetop: Heat 2 teaspoons if oil over a medium heat. Gently add the chicken breasts to the skillet without overcrowding. Cook the first side for 8 minutes without moving. Flip the chicken breasts and cook second sides for 2-4 minutes, or until cooked through, about 161-162º F internal temperature. Transfer to a plate and let rest 5 minutes.
- Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400 degrees F. Brush the grill with avocado or vegetable oil. Grill the chicken for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. Transfer to a plate and let rest 5 minutes.
- After resting the chicken breasts for 5 minutes, transfer the chicken to serving plates, and top generously with bruschetta. Garnish with the basil.
Recipe Notes
Roma tomatoes are the best tomatoes to buy for this bruschetta chicken if you're getting them at the store, but if you're heading to the farmers market or you grow your own any slightly firm heirloom tomato that holds it's shape when chopped will work here.
