Bruschetta Chicken

I saw this great chicken recipe in a Delish Summer Recipes magazine. Very rarely do I find number of recipe in any one recipe that I want to make. There are many in this one magazine. This is the first one I made and it was delicious! 
Not only was it delicious, it was super easy to make. Even the most novice cook can make this.

The recipe called for marinating the chicken for 30 minutes, but I didn’t have 30 minutes so I just threw the chicken in a ziptop bag with the ingredients to marinade and only marinated for 5 minutes or so.



I put it on my char grill on very low and began cooking. I have learned from many mistakes, if you don’t cook the chicken super low it will burn on the outside and not be cooked on the inside. Patience is key.

While the chicken was cooking, I prepared the tomato topping. I varied the recipe a bit for the topping. I made it the way they said but felt it needed something more. It originally called for tomatoes, garlic and basil. But I added a little (maybe 2-3 Tbsp) olive oil, a shake of dried oregano and about 1-2 Tbsp white balsamic vinegar. You can leave an ingredient out or add in but use small quantities and taste little by little.



This is perfect to make at this time of year. My cherry tomatoes are already coming out and regular tomatoes are just starting, and I have enough basil growing to feed the entire street. So we are going to have a lot of meals with tomatoes and basil that’s for sure.
