Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 cups store bought bruschetta
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Balsamic glaze for garnish
Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a small bowl mix together the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Season the chicken breasts with this mixture.
Pro Tip: Make sure that there is enough room in your baking dish so that the chicken doesn’t overlap. It will take the chicken longer to bake otherwise.
