Balsamic Bruschetta Chicken with Avocado
This fresh and vibrant dish turns your favorite appetizer into a satisfying and healthy dinner.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so special about the combination of juicy tomatoes, fresh basil, and balsamic glaze. When you pile those flavors onto a perfectly grilled chicken breast, it becomes a meal that feels fancy enough for guests but is simple enough for a Tuesday night.
Adding slices of creamy avocado right at the end makes this dish feel extra luxurious. My best tip is to let your tomato mixture sit for about twenty minutes before serving, as this gives the garlic and herbs time to really wake up.
๐งบ Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

๐ก Tips
This dish is best served immediately while the chicken is warm. If you have leftovers, store the chicken and the tomato mixture in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to two days to keep the avocado from browning and the tomatoes from getting too soft.
