BRUSCHETTA CHICKEN
This chicken is not only tasty and fresh, but it is super clean and can be made in less than 30 minutes. The bruschetta topping - a mixture of fresh tomatoes, basil, garlic, and spices - is the perfect addition to a clean piece of grilled chicken. Eat with your favorite sides, veggies, or carbs. Personally, I love sweet potato fries or brown rice, and a bunch of asparagus spears. This tomato basil topping will have your mouth watering all week!
