Grilled
Balsamic Chicken with a Chilled Bruschetta Topping
“But my favorite way to make it is over a
bed of arugula with this delicious chilled bruschetta topping! It is
fresh, flavorful, and low in calories!! What could be better than that?”
Ingredients:
For
the Balsamic Chicken Marinade:
4 to 5
chicken breasts cut into halves
1 pkg Good
Seasons Italian dressing
1/4 c. olive
oil
1/2 c.
balsamic vinegar
For
the Bruschetta Topping:
6 large
tomatoes, diced
7 sprigs of
basil, finely chopped
1/2 cup low
fat mozzarella cheese, cut into cubes
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup olive
oil
1 tsp. minced
garlic
Salt and
pepper to taste
Other:
Arugula
lettuce
Instructions:
At least 3
hours before eating (the longer, the better).
Mix together
the marinade ingredients in a large bowl or large Ziploc bag.
Add chicken
and toss to coat, and then refrigerate.
At this same
time mix together all the ingredients for the bruschetta topping in a separate
(medium size) bowl.
Refrigerate
until serving (if the oil starts to solidify from getting too cold, let it sit
out on the
counter until it dissolves into the mix again before serving).
About a half
hour before you plan to eat, remove chicken to counter and let it warm to room
temperature.
Grill over
medium heat for about 7 to 10 minutes on each side, turning only once.
Chicken
should have nice grill marks but not be burnt.
Serve warm
grilled chicken over a bed of arugula then spoon over the bruschetta topping.
