I discovered Pioneer Woman a couple of months ago and I fell in love with her blog. However, I never really got around to trying anything until today. So I made Chicken Brushetta for Iftar as I'm trying to eat a little light this Ramadan.
It turned out pretty well. In fact, its going into one my favourite pile. This is a perfect recipe if you're trying to eat low carb or following the 17 Day Diet (which I sometimes tend to do).
Although Pioneer Woman has step-by-step instructions on how to make this recipe (and hers is more detailed / better pictures) I photographed my own adventure in the kitchen.
As this was a last minute thing I had to make do without a few things, namely: Yellow tomatoes, Parmesan cheese and white bread. (Health reasons) I also used garlic paste instead of smashed cloves of garlic.
I made this only for myself. However, if you're making it for more than one person then you need to take in the ingredients accordingly. Instead of white bread, I heated brown bread and had it with that. This is easily a very good low-carb recipe that is tasteful and delicious. Not to mention, very easy to make!

| Chop cherry tomotatoes - take a bunch depending on how many people you're making this for. |
 |
| Heat olive oil and garlic paste. |
 | |
| I bought my own basil plant! Cut basil leaves into pieces. |
 |
| Add the olive oil and garlic paste into a bowl followed by the tomatoes. |
 |
| Put in some balsamic vinegar. |
 |
| Add the cut basil leaves - check pioneer woman's blog on how to cut if you're lost. |
 |
| Add salt (I left out pepper as I'm not a fan) |
 |
| Voila! You have Bruschetta ready. You can eat this on its own with bread. |
 |
| I wanted it with Chicken though so I marinated some chicken pieces with a lot of herbs. Feel free to experiment. |
 |
| I then grilled them on Geroge Colemans Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine |
 |
| After they were done I added them to the Bruschetta. You can easily turn this into a proper salad by adding lettuce. |

| Mmmm. This turned out really good. |
