Cheesy Bruschetta Chicken--FAST, HEALTHY, DELICIOUS!

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces calories while maintaining meltiness.

balsamic vinegar

🥗Healthier: apple cider vinegar

💰Cheaper: red wine vinegar

Red wine vinegar is often less expensive and adds a tangy flavor.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is a budget-friendly option for cooking.

fresh basil

🥗Healthier: spinach

💰Cheaper: dried basil

Dried basil is more affordable and has a longer shelf life.

Chop 4 tomatoes, trying to keep some seeds out to avoid excess water.

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the chopped tomatoes.

Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, and 10 chopped basil leaves to the tomatoes; mix well and set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an electric frying pan or skillet.

Season 6 chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of Mrs. Dash chicken seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper on one side.

Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and season the other side with the same spices.

Cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown; it's okay if the chicken is slightly pink as it will cook further in the oven.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Transfer the cooked chicken to a baking dish.

Slice 8 ounces of whole milk mozzarella cheese and place it evenly over the chicken, ensuring full coverage.

Bake the chicken in the oven at 375°F for 5 minutes, then switch to broil for 3 minutes to melt the cheese.

Remove from the oven and top with the bruschetta mixture before serving.
