- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Chicken
- 2 pounds boneless chicken breasts (about 6)

Instructions
Bruschetta
- In a medium bowl, combine all of the bruschetta ingredients. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Chicken
- Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag. Set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, Montreal seasoning, and Italian seasoning. Pour this marinade over the chicken. Close the bag, massage the chicken to coat it all with the marinade, and allow it to marinate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

- Transfer to a serving tray and spoon the prepared bruschetta equally onto each piece of chicken.
- Serve over pasta or a salad.
