Description

Use leftover bruschetta topping to transform regular ol’ grilled chicken breasts. Light and flavorful—perfect for summer!

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 5 cloves Garlic, Finely Minced
  • 1 pint Red Grape Tomatoes, Halved Lengthwise
  • 1 pint Yellow Grape Tomatoes, Halved Lengthwise
  • 1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • 16 whole Basil Leaves (chiffonade)
  • Salt And Black Pepper To Taste (don't Oversalt)
  • 8 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Cut In Half To Create Two Thin Breasts
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • Freshly Grated Or Shaved Parmesan

Preparation

In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and stir, lightly frying for about a minute, removing before the garlic gets too brown (it can be golden.) Pour into a mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.

Add tomatoes, balsamic, basil, and salt and pepper to the bowl. Toss to combine, then taste and add more basil if needed, and more salt if needed (don’t oversalt, though!) Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two if you have the time.

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then grill or saute them until done in the middle.

To serve, give the tomato mixture a final stir. Arrange chicken breasts on a plate (2 at a time) then spoon a generous amount of bruschetta topping over the top.

Use extra topping on slices of grilled baguette!

Oh my, Ree …. so delicious, beautiful to look at, and easy! Thanks for another great recipe. Just to brag a bit: I used my own artisan bread and pan-toasted it as per your suggestion. Rave reviews!

This was so, so good. My whole family enjoyed every bite! I did add gorgonzola cheese to the grilled chicken..(placing a slice on each chicken breast a minute or so before removing it from the grill).
