Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Mixing bowl
  • knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Garlic press or mincer (optional).

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup of diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup of chopped fresh basil
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • ½  teaspoon of salt
  • ¼  teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the necessary ingredients and mix them in a bowl. Combine the chopped tomatoes, garlic, basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well to mix the ingredients. Once you have done this, preheat your oven.
  • Once you have prepared and mixed the necessary ingredients, prepare the chicken breasts using a meat mallet or a rolling pin. Use it to pound the chicken to an even thickness. This helps the chicken cook more evenly and prevents it from drying out. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish. Add the bruschetta topping to the chicken. You must ensure it covers each breast evenly. Once you have done this, bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
    Alternatively, you can bake the chicken until it is cooked and no longer pink in the middle.
  • This is the last step in preparing this recipe. You must remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over each breast.
    Once you have done this, return the dish to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
    Remove the chicken from the oven once it has set. Allow the meal to cool down for a few minutes before consuming it
