It is spicy ,tangy and salty all at once. Try this recipe as a starter when the guest arrives and i am sure they will love it.

To Marinade

4 large chicken breasts
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste

BRUSCHETTA TOPPING

2 medium size tomatoes
1 medium size onion
1 finely chopped green chilly
1 tsp oregano
1 cup shredded cheese

Directions || How to prepare Chicken Bruschetta

Trim the excess fat from the chicken breasts and cut each piece into four small piece.

Combine chicken with all the ingredients in a bowl and add salt and pepper.
