Bruschetta Chicken
















I served this when my mom came over for lunch last Sunday. It's a favorite of mine for being quick and healthy and delicious. Mushrooms are great for supporting the immune system, I try to fit them in as often as I can.

Anytime I use chicken breasts I pound them a bit to make them all the same thickness. To serve for a Sunday lunch you can chop the veggies and pound the chicken ahead of time and it will come together in 15-20 minutes. I usually serve with brown rice and a salad. Recipe from Cooking Light

Chicken Bruschetta
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, divided
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
