Bruschetta Chicken with Pasta

A delightful Italian dish featuring juicy chicken topped with fresh bruschetta and served over tender angel hair pasta.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup torn fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ pound angel hair pasta
  • 1 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Balsamic glaze, optional
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Combine the diced Roma tomatoes, minced garlic, torn basil, and balsamic vinegar in a medium bowl. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature.
  2. Cook the angel hair pasta to al dente according to package instructions. Drain and return to the pan. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a plate, cover with foil, and let rest.
  4. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and stir in the bruschetta mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the cooked pasta. Toss everything together.
  5. Slice the rested chicken breasts and mix with the pasta. Divide into bowls, garnish with fresh basil, and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.

Notes

For the best flavor, let the bruschetta sit for at least 15 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
