  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated or shredded

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, basil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Place bowl in the refrigerator to marinate while you prepare the rest of the dish.
