Tomato-Basil Bruschetta Chicken from the Grill

1. 1

   Gather the ingredients. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, prepare the bruschetta. Chop tomatoes over a bowl to catch all the juices. Add olive oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir in torn basil leaves, then add more salt and pepper to taste if needed. Set the bruschetta aside.

3. 3

   Put croutons in a resealable plastic bag and seal it. Tap each crouton with a heavy spoon to break them into smaller pieces without crushing; set aside.

4. 4

   Place chicken breasts on a plate and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the remaining salt and pepper, garlic powder, and sweet paprika on both sides of the chicken. If the pieces are very thick, pound them to about 1/2-inch thickness.

5. 5

   When the grill is preheated, clean the grates, then use tongs to carefully oil the grates with a paper towel soaked in olive oil.

6. 6

   Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the oiled grates and grill until the juices run clear and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 4 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. A meat thermometer should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken.

7. 7

   Top each grilled chicken breast with the bruschetta and sprinkle with the crumbled croutons. Garnish with additional fresh basil.
