Bruschetta chicken is a flavorful and satisfying dish that can be enjoyed by people in the second phase of the human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) diet, also known as the P2 phase. The HCG diet is a very low calorie diet that is often used for weight loss. During the P2 phase of the diet, people are restricted to eating lean proteins, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy fats. Bruschetta chicken is a great way to add variety to the P2 diet while still staying within the diet's guidelines.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Toss the diced bread with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper and place on a sheet pan. Toast in the oven until golden, but still a little chewy, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over a medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper and, when the oil is hot, add to the skillet. Fry, flipping as needed, until cooked through and nicely seared, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Combine the tomatoes, garlic, basil chiffonade, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, some salt and pepper and 1 tablespoon balsamic reduction in a bowl. Toss and set aside.
- Remove the bread from the oven and, at the last minute, toss with the tomato mixture. Top the cooked chicken with the bread/tomato mixture, allowing it to fall around the edges and fill in the gaps of the skillet. Drizzle over the remaining 2 tablespoons balsamic reduction and garnish with some fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Place chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic freezer bag, one at a time. Lightly pound chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 3/4-inch. Combine oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, Italian herb seasoning, salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk until combined. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, reseal bag, and set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes. (Chicken and marinade can be prepared ahead; covered and refrigerated overnight.)
- Preheat grill to medium heat or about 350 degrees F. Combine remaining marinade with diced tomatoes and red onion; set aside. Transfer chicken from marinade onto grill surface and discard marinade. Grill chicken for 4 to 6 minutes per side or until cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Spoon bruschetta mixture over chicken and top with basil; serve immediately.

Steps:
- Marinate chicken in lemon juice, Bragg Liquid Amino Acids, vinegar, salt and pepper.
- Mix Melba crumbs with dry spices.
- Coat the chicken in the Melba crumbs / herb mixture and "fry" chicken (in non-stick skillet, do not use oil -- if anything is needed, use water or a very small amount of fat-free chicken broth) until golden brown. Deglaze the pan periodically with a little broth to keep chicken from burning.
- For the bruschetta sauce: Chop tomatoes finely and put into small bowl.
- Roll basil leaves together, crush lightly, and cut horizontally to create fine slices.
- Mix ingredients together with lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve Bruschetta sauce (chilled or slightly warmed) over the hot chicken.

Tips:
- To ensure the chicken breasts are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can make your own by reducing balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over medium heat until it thickens and becomes syrupy.
- For a more flavorful bruschetta topping, try using a variety of fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken breasts in a grill pan over medium heat.
- Serve the bruschetta chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
