Instructions

Make Bruschetta

In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Stir and refrigerate.

Make Chicken

Place chicken breasts on a cutting board, cover with a plastic wrap and pound lightly with a meat mallet or rolling pin until even thickness.
In a large bowl, add chicken breasts, olive oil, Italian seasoning, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Stir to coat, cover and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Preheat grill on medium-high heat and oil grill grates with oil soaked paper towel. Grill chicken breasts covered for 10 minutes, flipping once. Chicken is ready when meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 165F.
