Avocado Bruschetta Chicken

Our dinner last night was too good not to share! So here you are -

Avocado Bruschetta Chicken

Ingredients:1 cup balsamic vinegar
4 thin sliced chicken breasts
Olive oil cooking spray
salt, pepper & Italian seasoning blend
1/2 cup pre-made bruschetta topping
2 avocado, sliced
4oz mozzarella cheese, sliced (or 1 cup shredded)
baby spinach, for serving

Directions: 

1. Pour balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan then bring to a boil. Turn heat down to medium then simmer and reduce until vinegar is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 20 minutes. (Vinegar will continue to thicken while cooling.) Set aside to cool.
2. Place oven rack in top position then preheat broiler. Spray chicken breasts with olive oil then season with salt, pepper & Italian seasoning blend on both sides. Spray a large skillet over medium-high heat with oil then add chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes a side, or until no longer pink in the center.
3. Transfer chicken to a foil-lined, nonstick-sprayed baking sheet then top with 2 Tablespoons bruschetta mixture, 4 slices avocado, and 1 oz mozzarella each. Broil until cheese has melted then serve over spinach and drizzle with the balsamic vinegar reduction.
