Ingredients
  

Marinade:

  • 1 ½ Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • 4 6 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4.5 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese

Bruschetta Topping:

  • 3 large roma tomatoes diced (room temperature)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup diced sweet onion white or yellow
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh basil more or less
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Pound chicken breasts until they are an even thickness. Place in a 9x13" glass dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Marinate for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425°. Bake chicken for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°.
  • Spread the mozzarella cheese pieces over the chicken the last five minutes of cooking so they will melt.
  • Make the topping while the chicken is cooking. Stir together tomatoes, garlic, onion, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, fresh basil, and salt.
  • Spread the topping over the melted cheese and serve immediately.

Notes

If you don't have fresh mozzarella, you can use sliced or grated mozzarella instead. Still yummy!
