Bruschetta Chicken Pasta

Instructions

    • 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.
    • Prepare the chicken: Season chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Let rest, then slice.
    • Make the bruschetta topping: In a bowl, mix diced tomatoes, minced garlic, basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and salt. Toss gently.
  • Combine: Toss the cooked pasta in the skillet with chicken drippings. Slice chicken, place on top of pasta, and add bruschetta topping.
  • Serve: Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, garnish with basil, and drizzle balsamic glaze if desired. Enjoy warm!
