Grilled Bruschetta Chicken, adapted from Christina Cherrier.

Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.

Ingredients are scaled; keep food thickness, spacing, settings and safe endpoints fixed. Timings assume the four-serving batch and specified shortcuts. More food can require additional batches.

## Ingredients

- 2 count Chicken breasts — boneless, skinless; halve horizontally into four thin fillets

- 3 tsp Italian seasoning — basil, rosemary, and thyme). (dried oregano

- to taste Salt and freshly cracked pepper — to taste. Unquantified in source; use to taste or as optional garnish as stated.

- 3 tbsp olive oil — divided

- 4 count tomatoes — seeded and finely diced

- 2 tbsp minced onion

- 1 tsp minced garlic

- 3 tbsp toasted pine nuts

- Not specified Fresh basil — thinly sliced. Unquantified in source; use to taste or as optional garnish as stated. Unquantified amount remains unknown, not zero.

- ½ cup Balsamic vinegar. Optional glaze. Optional; excluded or included as stated in the publisher nutrition.

- 1 tbsp Sugar. Optional glaze. Optional; excluded or included as stated in the publisher nutrition.

## Equipment

- Stovetop and large skillet

- Knife and cutting board

- Instant-read thermometer

- Small saucepan only if making the optional glaze

## Cook

Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.

1. **Step 1.** If using optional glaze, simmer vinegar and sugar in a saucepan for 5–8 minutes until syrupy.

2. **Step 2.** Halve each breast horizontally into thin fillets and season with Italian herbs, salt and pepper. Heat one-third of the oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook on both sides until 165°F; reserve.

3. **Step 3.** Combine tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, remaining oil and salt. Spoon over cooked chicken and add toasted pine nuts and optional glaze. Despite its title, the captured source method uses a skillet.

## Attention timeline

Stages can overlap; endpoints and appliance behavior override the estimate.

## Nutrition per serving

Calories: Not provided; protein: Not provided; total carbs: Not provided; fiber: Not provided; net carbs: Not provided

Source nutrition is reported only where its per-portion basis is supported. Unavailable totals are not estimated.

Known allergens for these plates: tree nuts. Check product labels and cross-contact.

## First-cook checks and limits

- The publisher lists 445 calories without a serving size or complete nutrition breakdown; per-portion nutrition remains unreported.

- Captured current recipe cooks in a skillet despite its grilled title. No grill is required for this method; optional glaze needs a saucepan.

- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.

- Adapted from Christina Cherrier. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.

- The source does not provide verified values for every per-portion macronutrient. Missing values stay unreported; a keto label from the publisher is not a verified net-carb total.

- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.

## Leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
