Grilled Chicken with Bruschetta


Sorry about the long hiatus! We were in Maryland for a week wedding planning like CRAZY, and now I’m finally back. I might have tasted one too many cupcakes…so it’s time to get back on track with some healthy recipes!


When we came back, the tomatoes in our garden were perfectly ripe and ready to be eaten. We grew these tomatoes from seed, and they are SO good.


Bruschetta is easy, healthy, and tastes really good with a lot of different things. I decided to put it over some Italian seasoned grilled chicken, and the result was excellent.

Here’s what you need (adapted from Skinny Taste)…

2 pieces of boneless skinless chicken
3 medium tomatoes
½ red onion, chopped
1 ½ tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 ½ tbsp. olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
A handful of fresh basil

Here’s what you do…

1. A few hours before you are ready to serve, chop your tomatoes, onion and basil, and mix them together in a bowl with vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper (hard, right?).  Cover and let sit for a few hours.


2. I seasoned my chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. I grilled it on high heat for about 6 ½ minutes per side.
3. Allow chicken to rest for a few minutes, pour some bruschetta on top and enjoy!


The bruschetta would also taste fantastic as an appetizer with a crusty bread. YUM!

I hope everyone has an excellent week!
