Ingredients
- 500g chicken breast, sliced into cutlets
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for cooking
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan (optional)
- Balsamic glaze, for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside to marinate while you cook the chicken.
- Season the chicken cutlets with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F). Transfer to a serving platter.
- Spoon the fresh bruschetta topping generously over the warm chicken, letting the juices run over each piece.
- If using parmesan, sprinkle it over the top so it melts slightly into the warm tomatoes. Drizzle with balsamic glaze for extra flair.
- Serve immediately with crusty bread to mop up the delicious juices, or alongside pasta or salad.
