{ RECIPE :: Grilled Balsamic Bruschetta Chicken }

I'm a huge fan of any recipe that calls for balsamic vinegar! So I guess it goes without saying that I simply adored this recipe. And the bonus? It took me less than 30 minutes to make. Definitely my kind of recipe.  Thank you PINTEREST!

INGREDIENTS:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, thawed (I use the big Costco bag)
Pinch of salt
¼ Cup balsamic vinegar
¼ Cup extra virgin olive oil
8 slices fresh mozzarella cheese

4 Roma Tomatoes, seeded and diced
8 fresh basil leaves, stacked, rolled and thinly sliced into chiffonade
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
Pinch of salt
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat a grill pan over medium heat on the stovetop. Spray with cooking spray. Combine balsamic and olive oil in a bowl. Season both sides of chicken with pinches of salt and place on grill. Brush top sides of chicken with balsamic mixture. Cook for 4-5 minutes and flip chicken. Brush with additional balsamic and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until cooked through. During the last 2 minutes of grilling place 2 slices of cheese over top each chicken to melt.
2. In a large bowl combine the tomatoes, basil garlic, salt and balsamic. Toss gently to combine. Place chicken breasts on a serving plate and top with tomato mixture. Serve warm.

If my memory serves me correctly, I believe we had baked sweet potatoes and a spinach salad. :)

All recipes are "stolen" unless you are a professional chef or something! Whatever!!! It's called following a recipe!

Anyway, thank you for posting this... I found it from, wait for it.... PINTEREST! Looking for dinner ideas as I make my June meal plans and grocery lists. Going to make it for dinner next week. :) I too was wondering what to serve it with, baked sweet potato sounds delish! THANKS!

WooHoo Pinterest directed me to this recipe. It was good but I'm kind of a new cook so I had a bit of dryness with the chicken. I also used a grill to cook it so that may have been what did it. Thanks for the great recipe!!!
