Yöntemler

Start by adding all of the balsamic marinade ingredients to a large bowl and whisk until combined. Then, add the chicken breast and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but preferably 2 hours.

Once the chicken is almost done marinating, preheat the oven to 400F. Then, start preparing the bruschetta topping. Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl and stir to combine. Let that sit out at room temperature while you cook the chicken.

Bring a large oven-safe pan (such as stainless steel) to medium-high heat. Once hot, add enough avocado oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Then, wipe off as much of the excess marinade as possible and add the chicken to the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until it naturally releases from the pan. Then, turn off the heat and add about 2-3 slices of mozzarella to the top of each chicken breast.

Transfer the pan to the pre-heated oven to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F, and the cheese has melted. The time will vary based on how thick or thin your chicken breast is.

Spoon the bruschetta over the cooked chicken and top with an extra drizzle of balsamic glaze. Enjoy!
