Instructions
- Create the balsamic glaze by simmering balsamic vinegar and brown sugar in a saucepan until it's reduced by half and thick enough to coat a spoon, stirring occasionally.
- For the bruschetta topping, gently mix diced tomatoes, minced garlic, salt, pepper, vinegar, olive oil, and basil in a bowl. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste.
- Prepare the chicken by combining olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- In a skillet, cook the chicken in olive oil until golden brown and fully cooked. Then, lower the heat, top each breast with mozzarella, cover with foil, and let the cheese melt.
- Finish by topping the chicken with the bruschetta mixture and drizzling with balsamic glaze. Serve immediately for the best experience.
