Bruschetta Chicken

Earlier this week we grilled 5 chicken breasts and stuck them in the fridge as an easy weeknight prep.  Simple to grill (all you need to do is season with salt and pepper) and you are good to go for a quick dinner prep... just a note, if you're going to take this approach - microwave the breasts (do not stick them back on the grill or in the oven otherwise it'll dry it out).

Now, I just had to think of ways to top the chicken breasts and change it up so we don't get bored.  In scoping Pinterest I saw a recipe for Bruschetta and *ding* there we go!  Talk about an easy and delicious dinner.

Side of green beans coated in Salt, Pepper, and a little Garlic Powder.

Ingredients

• Chicken Breasts (2-4, depending on serving size)
• 3 Tomatoes, Chopped
• 1/2 - 1 Small White Onion, Chopped
• 2 Garlic Cloves, Minced
• 2 tbl Fresh Basil, Chopped
• 1 tsp Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Balsamic Vinegar (I added a little extra because I love this combo)
• Salt/Pepper

Directions

1. Coat chicken with salt and pepper and cook in a pan for 3 minutes on each side (over medium heat).  Remove from pan.
2. Coat pan with 1 tsp of olive oil.  Once hot, throw in the chopped onions until they become transparent (3-4 minutes).  Add garlic for an additional 1 minute.
3. Lower the heat to Medium-Low and add tomatoes, basil, balsamic vinegar, and S&P.  (This step is just to warm the mixture so you don't want to cook it too much longer).
4. Top chicken with Bruschetta Topping and enjoy!  As you can see from the picture, we had a side of green beans and it was the perfect combination.

Overall this is a great, simple dinner for a weeknight as it only takes 20-30 minutes tops to prepare.  Plus, can you really go wrong with anything basil?!
