Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz spaghetti or penne pasta
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Seasonings and Extras:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Extra basil leaves and balsamic glaze for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. (The internal temperature should reach 165°F.) Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. Make the Bruschetta Topping: In a medium bowl, combine diced cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped basil, balsamic vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently and let the flavors meld while you prepare the rest.
  5. Combine Pasta and Chicken: Using the same skillet from the chicken, toss the cooked pasta to coat in the remaining juices. If the pan is dry, add a small splash of olive oil. Slice the rested chicken into thin strips and arrange on top of the pasta.
  6. Top with Bruschetta: Spoon the tomato-basil mixture generously over the chicken and pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garnish with extra basil leaves. For an extra touch, drizzle with balsamic glaze.
  7. Serve and Enjoy!: Pair your Bruschetta Chicken Pasta with crusty garlic bread or a crisp green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
