{Recipe} - Grilled Balsamic Bruschetta Chicken

Another recipe! This dinner was delicious and really simple to throw together. I fixed it in the skillet because I don't have easy access to a grill and it worked just fine! It was filling too! I was starving after going to yoga after work and waiting until 8 pm to finally get around to eating dinner. Definitely a "make again" recipe!
