Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp (5 ml) dried basil
½ tsp (2.5 ml) cracked black pepper
1 cup (250 ml) prepared bruschetta topping
1/2 cup (125 ml) Italian cheese blend

Pound chicken breasts with a meat mallet or small sauce pan to a ½ inch, even thickness. Sprinkle with dried basil and black pepper.

Lightly spray a large oven proof skillet (e.g., cast iron) with non-stick spray and heat on medium. Cook chicken breasts until browned on both sides, about 10 minutes per side, and internal temperature of thickest part reads 165 F (74C).

Turn on broiler and position a rack about 4-6 inches from the heat.

Spoon bruschetta topping over chicken, top chicken with cheeses.

Broil for 5-6 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve with pasta, rice or crusty bread.
