Grilled Chicken with Bruschetta Topping

okay, so this is a great recipe out of a cookbook i love... it is called the most decadent diet ever! by devin alexander (it isn't really a diet book, but just healthy recipes). all of the recipes in here are foods you would love to eat.... 

ingredients: 

1 recipe bruschetta topping (recipe follows)

4 4.5 oz chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, visible fat removed

1 tsp EVOO

1.5 tsp fresh garlic

Salt and Pepper

Prepare Bruschetta topping

Preheat Grill to High

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper on a flat work surface and hammer them out with a meat mallet for more even cooking (i didn't do this)

Transfer chicken to a medium bowl. add olive oil and garlic. mix until well combined. Season generously with s & p to taste.

Place chicken side by side on the grill. Turn heat to medium, if possible. Grill 3-5 minutes per side or until no longer pink in the middle. 

Transfer to plates and use 1/4 of bruschetta topping on each chicken breast. 

Bruschetta Topping Recipe: 

1 1/3 c seeded and finely chopped Roma tomatoes

1 tsp finely slivered fresh basil leaves (i just used dry until it looked right)

1 Tbsp EVOO

1.5  tsp garlic (i definitely used more than this but we are garlic lovers)

.5 tsp sugar

.25 tsp salt 

black pepper to taste

just put all the ingredients into a smaller tupperware and refrigerate for at least 2 hrs. serve cold or room temp. 

Notes: This is a VERY easy, VERY healthy recipe. The only thing you have to do that takes any brain power is make the bruschetta topping 2 hours ahead. You could easily make it when you make breakfast (that is what i did).  The bruschetta topping was a total party in my mouth. As a matter of fact i would probably double the recipe just so i could have more tomatoes, but that is just me! it is the same as you get in a restaurant so you could also use the topping for bruschetta with bread or as a pasta topping with angel hair! yum, yum!

We ate this with a side of mixed veggies, but would be great with pasta, etc. The pictures didn't turn out that great, but it tasted MUCH better than it looked!
