Spicy Garlic Marinated Chicken with Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta

I love recipes that are versatile, where you can prepare extras and then by making a few simple changes you can magically transform the leftovers into a different meal and trick yourself that you aren't really eating leftovers :-)  This spicy garlic marinated chicken with heirloom tomato bruschetta is incredible versatile. You can serve it alone with a couple simple side dishes, or on top of a bed of greens, or one of my favorite ways is to serve it on top of spiralized zucchini "zoodles".  This recipe is high in protein and low in carbs and fat.
