- 3 Tomatoes sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic minced

Instructions

- Transfer the chicken to a serving plate.
- Spoon the fresh tomato topping over the chicken.
- Finish with freshly grated Parmesan and serve warm.
Recipe Notes
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
- Use ripe, firm tomatoes to keep the bruschetta topping fresh instead of watery.
- Let the tomato mixture rest for 5 to 10 minutes to develop more flavor.
- Cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Add the mozzarella near the end and cover the skillet so it melts quickly.
- Spoon the tomato topping over the chicken just before serving.
- Store the chicken and tomato topping separately to preserve the best texture.
