Ingredients
– 1 pound Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup torn fresh basil
– 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
– Kosher salt
– Freshly ground black pepper
– 1/2 pound Angel Hair Pasta
– 1 to 1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
– Olive oil for cooking
– Balsamic glaze for garnish
– Fresh Parmesan or Mozzarella cheese for garnish
Instructions
1-Gathering and Prepping Ingredients: First, prepare the bruschetta by combining 1 pound of diced Roma tomatoes, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 cup of torn fresh basil, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, and kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste in a bowl. Let this mix marinate at room temperature while you move on, allowing the flavors to blend. Meanwhile, season 1 to 1-1/2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast with the same salt and pepper for even taste.
2-Cooking the Pasta and Chicken: Next, cook 1/2 pound of Angel Hair Pasta in boiling water until al dente, as per package instructions, then drain and toss it with a bit of olive oil to keep it from sticking. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the seasoned chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until it hits 165 degrees internally use a thermometer to check for perfection. Once done, remove the chicken and let it rest before slicing.
3-Combining and Serving: Now, in the same skillet, heat a little more olive oil and add the prepared bruschetta mixture along with its juices, cooking it for 1-2 minutes until warm. Turn off the heat, mix in the cooked pasta, and toss everything together; add extra olive oil if the mixture seems dry. Finally, add the sliced chicken, stir gently, and serve right away with fresh basil leaves on top, plus optional balsamic glaze and grated cheese for extra flair.
