The Clumsy Cook

Do you know what I love?  Easy meals. You know what else I love? Balsamic vinegar and tomatoes. With some inspiration from The Seasoned Mom and Clean Food Crush  (both delicious recipes by the way!) I have created this new favorite - the Chicken Bruschetta Bake. Don't you love a one-pan meal?!? They're my favorite.  Because doing dishes is my least favorite. Serves : 2, with lunch leftovers Ingredients : For the Chicken: 1-2 large chicken breasts salt & pepper For the Sauce: 1/4c maple syrup 1/4c dijon mustard 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar 3 garlic cloves For the Topping: 3 roma tomatoes 1 bunch fresh basil 2tbsp balsamic vinegar 1tbsp olive oil salt & pepper dried rosemary 1c shredded mozzarella Instructions : 1.
