Brushetta Topped Chicken

Holy amazing.  Yes, that is all I have to say.  Oh, and Mom, this is the recipe you said you wanted to try.  Okay, now I'm done.
Ingredients:
2-4 Chicken breasts
1/4 Cup balsamic vinegar or balsamic vinaigrette
1/4 Cup olive oil
Mozzarella cheese slices (2 per chicken)

Brushetta Toppings:
3-4 Roma tomatoes
8 Fresh basil leaves (I got mine at sprouts)
4-5 dash's garlic powder
pinch of salt
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar or vinaigrette
Black olives, diced, OPTIONAL

Directions:
*Dice your tomatoes up into small bite sized pieces.  Throw all the inner junk out (seeds and slimy parts).


*Roll all of your basil into a roll, then cut it into small pieces.  Works amazing... (picture is before I picked the leaves off the stalk and before I diced them up...oops)


*Add your garlic powder, salt, and balsamic.  Put it in a bowl and throw it in your fridge.  We like ours cold so I make this hours ahead of time.  You can make it a minute or two before serving though.

*Cook your chicken breasts on the grill outside, indoor grill, or on the stovetop.  Just cook them however you want...

*Once the chicken is done, put the mozzarella slices on top of the chicken and continue to cook until they melt.

*Remove your chicken and put them on your plates.


*Spoon the brushetta topping on top.


*I added black olives to mine, Nick did not.  It was delicious...and we don't like tomatoes!
