T.G.I. Friday's Bruschetta Chicken

We have a Friday's at our mall (like everyone else in the world I guess)
It's usually our go-to restaurant there as the menu is so versatile. We can go multiple times and not have the same items.

One of my favorite dishes there is this bruschetta chicken. It's light and fresh, nothing to weigh you down when you are having a shopping marathon!

I was pleasantly surprised at how close this recipe is to the original.
Two thumbs up from hubby and the girl!
