Chicken Breast Bruschetta
From Cafe Delites, this is a low carb, high protein version of traditional Bruschetta
Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally to make 4 fillets
- 3 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- salt to taste
- 1 tbsp polive oil for cooking
Topping Ingredients
- 4 Roma tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1/4 of red onion, finely diced
- 4 tbsp shredded fresh basil
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt to taste
- 1/2 cup freshly shaved Parmesan cheese
Balsamic Glaze
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp brown sugar
Method
- Season chicken with Italian seasoning, garlic and salt. Heat oil in a grill pan or skillet, and sear chicken breasts over medium-high heat until browned on both sides and cooked through (about 6 minutes each side). Remove from pan; set aside and allow to rest.
- Combine the tomatoes, red onion, basil, olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt. Top each chicken breast with the tomato mixture and parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately with balsamic glaze.
For The Balsamic Glaze:
- (If making from scratch, prepare while chicken is cooking.) Combine sugar (if using) and vinegar in a small saucepan over high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low; allow to simmer for 5-8 minutes or until mixture has thickened and reduced to a glaze. (If not using sugar, allow to reduce for 12-15 minutes on low heat).
