For the chicken:

-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the bruschetta topping:
-
2 cups cherry tomatoes, diced
-
2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
-
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
-
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
-
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
-
Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
-
Grill the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
-
While the chicken grills, prepare the bruschetta topping. In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
-
Once the chicken is almost done, top each breast with a handful of shredded mozzarella and close the grill lid for 1–2 minutes to melt the cheese.
-
Remove chicken from the grill and top with the fresh bruschetta mixture.
-
Garnish with more fresh basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
-
You can swap out mozzarella for feta or goat cheese for a different twist.
-
This recipe is also great served over a bed of arugula or pasta.
-
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and balsamic vinegar for 30 minutes before grilling.
