About This Recipe:
Tomato season is in full effect, and I am always on the hunt for new tomato forward recipes. I already have a recipe on the blog for easy tomato bruschetta, but thought it would also be delicious on chicken for a quick meal. I just simply cook the chicken on the stovetop- the key is to use thin cut or pounded chicken breasts so that they cook quickly and don’t dry out. The bruschetta takes a bit of chopping, but is super colorful and flavorful.
Enjoy!

-1.5 lbs thin chicken breasts
-2 tsps dried oregano

1. Season the chicken breasts with the oregano, and salt and pepper. In a large pan over medium high heat, add a tbl of olive oil and cook the chicken for about 4 minutes per side until fully cooked.
2. Place one slice of mozzarella over each chicken breast, and let melt.
