Grilled Bruschetta Chicken

Ingredients

  • 3 medium vine ripe tomatoes
  • 2 small cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
  • 3 oz part skim mozzarella
  • 1.25 lbs 8 thin sliced chicken cutlets

Directions

  1. Stir together the onion, olive oil, balsamic, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, and pepper. Let that mixture rest for a few minutes.
  2. Chop the tomatoes, then add them to a large bowl. Fold in the garlic, basil, the onion and balsamic mixture, another 1/8 tsp salt, and pepper to taste. Leave it alone for at least 10 minutes, or let it sit as long as overnight. Just before serving, stir in the cheese.
  3. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and fresh pepper.
  4. Heat the grill to medium-high, then clean the grates and brush them with oil so the chicken does not stick.
  5. Cook the chicken on the grill for 2 minutes per side. Move it to a platter, spoon the bruschetta over the top, and serve.
