Bruschetta Grilled Chicken
Rating
This is the least basic grilled chicken has ever looked. Make it on repeat during summer — when tomatoes are at their peak.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon, divided
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning or dried oregano
- 4 boneless skinless antibiotic free chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
- 3 slicing tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp. freshly chopped basil
- 4 slices mozzarella
- Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine oil, half the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and Italian seasoning (or oregano) and whisk to combine. Transfer to a large re-sealable bag along with chicken; seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Heat grill over medium-high then add chicken, discarding excess marinade. Grill until charred and cooked to an internal temperature of 165°, about 5 to 7 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, garlic, basil, and remaining lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. While chicken is still on grill, top each breast with 1 slice mozzarella and cover until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Top chicken with tomato mixture.
- Garnish with Parmesan and serve.
