Balsamic bruschetta chicken

This recipe was a Pinterest find, originally from Budget Bytes. I'm looking forward to finding more recipes from this site because, as it name implies, it provides recipes for cost-efficient meals! The balsamic bruschetta chicken comes to a grand total of $6.75 for 4 servings, and a lot of the ingredients were items that were already stockpiled in the fridge.

The recipe calls for chicken breasts, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt & pepper, roma tomatoes, sweet onion, and shredded mozzarella (which we thought about substituting with fresh mozzarella, but Harris Teeter was out of it, so hopefully next time we can try it with that). We were only feeding two with this meal, so we used one chicken breast instead of two, but kept the rest of the ingredient sizes the same - resulting in juicy, delicious chicken, and extra bruschetta to dip garlic bread into. This recipe calls for the chicken to go in the broiler for 5-10 minutes, but I suggest keeping an eye on it so you can pull it out as soon as the cheese melts (we have a smaller-than-normal oven, so our broiler got super hot and our cheese melted in about a minute).

The bruschetta chicken was delicious, and so quick to make! It took us about 25-30 minutes, including prep work. Served with garlic bread, extra bruschetta, and sweet red wine. Next time, I would like to include rice or broccoli on the side to round it out a little more.
