Instructions

  • Place all marinade ingredients into large bowl and mix well. Add in chicken breasts and coat well. Set aside to marinade.
  • To prepare bruschetta topping, place diced tomatoes in sieve over bowl and sprinkle ¼ teaspoon salt. Set aside for about 10 minutes to let excess water drain from tomatoes.
  • Discard excess water and place tomatoes into bowl. Add red onion, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and basil. Season with pepper, then mix to combine.
  • Preheat oven to 390°F (200°C). Place chicken breast and some marinade into oven-proof dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until chicken has cooked through. Top chicken with mozzarella slices and bake for 1 to 2 more minutes to let cheese melt.
  • Place chicken breast onto 4 plates. Top with tomato bruschetta and drizzle of balsamic glaze.
