u003cstrongu003eHow to Make Bruschetta Chickenu003c/strongu003e

STEP 1

Mix the tomatoes, basil, mozzarella cheese, and salt together. Set aside to let the flavors marry.

STEP 2

Slice each chicken breast horizontally into thinner slices to expedite cooking. Thinner pieces cook more quickly. However, if you favor larger portions, you may opt to keep the breasts intact.

STEP 3

Season each side of the chicken breasts with the remaining salt, pepper and garlic powder.

STEP 4

Pan-sear the chicken breasts in a large sauté pan with olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the breasts for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.

STEP 5

Spoon the tomato mixture onto each chicken breast and place them in the oven. Broil for 1-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is lightly browned. Enjoy!
