Preparation Steps

• Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
• In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Rub mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken.
• Grill chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
• While chicken rests, prepare bruschetta: In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, basil, minced garlic, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir gently and let sit for 5–10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
• Slice chicken breasts and top each with a generous portion of bruschetta mixture. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
• Serve immediately with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
