Grilled Chicken Bruschetta and Sauteed Broccoli

There is nothing like protein cooked on the grill! Instead of crusty bread, I use a tasty grilled chicken breast to be the home to my Bruschetta. Paired with sauteed broccoli for a nice flavor match.

This is a delicious easy meal to make. Make your Bruschetta topping the night before or early in the morning and allow the flavors to marinate and blend together. Grill some chicken and top with the Bruschetta. You have yourself a quick and easy weeknight meal!
