Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 3–4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  
  

• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette dressing
  
  

• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  
  

For the Bruschetta Topping:

• 1 large tomato, finely chopped
  
  

• 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  
  

• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette dressing
  
  

For Serving:

• Balsamic glaze (store-bought)
  
  

Directions

1. Marinate the Chicken:
   
   

   • Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag.
     
     

   • Add 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinaigrette dressing to the bag.
     
     

   • Seal the bag and turn it over several times to evenly coat the chicken with the dressing.
     
     

   • Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
     
     

2. Prepare the Grill:
   
   

   • Preheat the grill to medium heat.
     
     

3. Grill the Chicken:
   
   

   • Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the bag and dressing.
     
     

   • Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6 minutes.
     
     

   • Flip the chicken over and grill for an additional 8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
     
     

   • During the last 2 minutes of grilling, sprinkle each chicken breast with shredded mozzarella cheese and allow it to melt.
     
     

4. Prepare the Bruschetta Topping:
   
   

   • While the chicken is grilling, combine the chopped tomato, chopped basil, and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinaigrette dressing in a bowl.
     
     

   • Stir to combine and set aside.
     
     

5. Assemble the Dish:
   
   

   • Once the chicken is cooked and the cheese has melted, remove the chicken from the grill.
     
     

   • Top each chicken breast with a generous spoonful of the bruschetta mixture.
     
     

   • Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
