A quick and heartwarming dish featuring juicy chicken breasts topped with basil pesto, fresh tomato bruschetta, and gooey mozzarella cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Large Chicken Breasts (pounded to even thickness)
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 1 tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper
- 4 slices Galbani Thin Sliced Fresh Mozzarella
- ¼ cup Basil Pesto
- 2 tbsp Balsamic Glaze
- ½ Lemon
- 1 cup Tomato (diced)
- 2 tbsp Basil Leaves (thinly sliced)
- 1 Garlic Clove (grated)
- 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ½ tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, add the diced tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside to let the flavors mingle.
- Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, ensuring each breast is evenly coated.
- Heat a large skillet with 1 tbsp olive oil and cook the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Halfway through, squeeze half of a lemon over the chicken.
- Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat and top each breast with two slices of mozzarella cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid until the cheese melts.
- Remove from heat and top with basil pesto, the bruschetta, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
For best results, store leftover chicken and bruschetta separately. Reheat chicken in the oven to preserve moisture.
