Chicken Bruschetta Melts

This is inspired from a lunch menu I saw outside a restaurant once.  The special was a Chicken Bruschetta Melt and I thought that sounded delicious.  So I went home and made one- don't know if it was anything like the one from the restaurant.

Ingredients:


chicken thighs or breasts (1 breast per person, 2 thighs per person)
favourite melting cheese
tomatoes
fresh basil
red onion
balsamic vinegar
oil
optional: garlic bread

 
Directions:



Make some bruschetta (chop tomatoes, red onion, tear up basil- mix together with a little oil and vinegar and salt). If you soak your chopped red onion in water for a while before adding it to your bruschetta, the onion will become sweet and less harsh.



Cook the chicken in your favourite seasoning (I usually mix my own- garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, chili flakes, paprika, oregano).



We had our chicken on some garlic bread (you can choose your own vessel or keep the carbs out of it all together), topped it with bruschetta and then cheese and put it under the broiler till the cheese melted. 

Super quick and delicious.
