bruschetta chicken

i have to say that one of my all time favorite things to eat is bruschetta. my mom and nonna make it the best (it used to be romano's macaroni grill's but they changed their recipe and now it doesn't even come close). my sister gina has always said that the bruschetta chicken sandwich at red robin is great, but that was when i was a vegetarian so i couldn't picture the tomato/onion/basil combination on anything but toasted bread.

anyways, i came across this recipe on skinnytaste.com and knew that i had to try it. i wasnt sure o it was going to go over with my husband but he enjoyed it (after picking the onions out of course). i LOVED it... i seriously think that i could eat it everyday it was that good! (and it ws even better because all the other recipes that i tried today were fails in a big way... so atleast i hit this one out of the ballpark!)
