Bruschetta Grilled Chicken

This dinner meal can easily be turned into a leftover lunch meal the next day. Even throw it on a bed of lettuce!

Ingredients:
4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup of lemon juice and olive oil combined (add more lemon juice than olive oil for a more tart flavor)
2 tomatoes, finely chopped
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves

Directions:
Place a large sheet of heavy-duty foil over half of grill grate. Heat grill to medium heat. Meanwhile, place chicken in resealable plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup lemon juice and olive oil dressing and seal bag. Turn bag over several times to evenly coat chicken with dressing. Refrigerate 10 minutes (or marinate all day if you have time). Remove chicken from bag. Discard bag and dressing.
Grill chicken on uncovered side of grill for about 6 minutes. Meanwhile, combine remaining 1/4 dressing, tomatoes, cheese, and basil. Turn chicken over and cooked-side up, on foil on the grill. Top with tomato mixture. Close lid. Grill 8 minutes or until chicken is done. Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to give it a bit more zip.
