Grilled Chicken Bruschetta

Posted by Dexie

This was inspired by a recipe I found from a Kraft Food magazine. I said inspired because I changed a couple of ingredients. The original recipe called for sun-dried tomato vinaigrette dressing for the marinade and shredded mozzarella cheese for the topping which was actually an obvious ingredient for anything bruschetta. Not having those 2 key items didn't stop me from making this dish. I know I have a bottle of Lite Italian dressing and I just bought a bag of shredded cheddar cheese which will work as substitutes. I was right.

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 Cup of Lite Italian salad dressing + 2 tbsp
8 thin(pounded) pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 roman tomatoes, finely chopped
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil or 2 tsp dried basil

Marinate the chicken breasts in the Italian dressing. Refrigerate until ready to grill.

When ready, cover half- side of the grill with heavy foil. Grill the chicken breasts on the uncovered side for about 6-8 minutes.

While they're grilling, chop the tomatoes, add 2 tbsp of the Italian dressing, cheese and basil. Mix together evenly.

Turn the chicken over onto the foil covered side. Top the chicken pieces with the tomato mixture. Close the grill's lid and grill for another 8 minutes. Serve with a bed of angel hair pasta.

I cooked the pasta, drained water, added a little bit of butter so they wouldn't stick together and sprinkled gracious amount of grated parmesan cheese :) . DELICIOUS.
