Ingredients
For the Grilled Chicken
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp Italian seasonings
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese or ½ cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions
For the Grilled Chicken
- Using a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, Italian seasonings, salt and pepper. Place chicken in a re-sealable bag and add olive oil mixture. Turn several times to coat and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes. (Note: This is a great time to go ahead and make the bruschetta topping.)
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove chicken from marinade and place on grill. (Discard any excess marinade.) Grill for 5-6 minutes per side, or until chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
- Lay slices (or shredded) of mozzarella on top of chicken breasts. Close grill and let cook for 1-2 minutes, or until cheese has fully melted.
- Remove chicken breasts from grill and top with several spoonfuls of the bruschetta topping before serving.
For the Bruschetta Topping
- Using a medium bowl, add all of the ingredients; toss until well combined.
