Bruschetta Chicken with Balsamic Glaze

Cuisine : Italian, Mediterranean
Balsamic - Bruschetta - Chicken

Ingredients

For the chicken
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • several pinches kosher salt
  • freshly-ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/3  cup all-purpose flour
  • 1-2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
For the Bruschetta
  • 4 ripe Roma or on-the-vine tomatoes  seeded and diced
  • 1 handful fresh basil leaves coarsely chopped
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • a few turns of freshly-ground black pepper
  • To prepare the chicken, sprinkle each side of the breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Place the flour in a shallow bowl or plate, then gently dredge each piece of chicken through to lightly coat both sides, shaking a bit to remove any excess.
  • Set a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add just enough olive oil to coat the bottom. When pan is hot, add chicken and saute for 2-3 minutes on each side, until it’s cooked through and lightly golden.
  • While the chicken cooks, combine all bruschetta ingredients in a medium bowl; stir to blend.
  • When chicken is cooked through, remove from heat. Top each piece with generous spoonfuls of bruschetta, and drizzle with a bit of balsamic glaze, if desired. Serve immediately.
