Instructions
Creating Bruschetta Chicken Pasta is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare Chicken: While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
3. Grill Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove and let rest before slicing.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they soften, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the balsamic vinegar and remaining olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the cooked pasta and chopped basil. Toss everything together until well combined.
6. Slice Chicken: Slice the grilled chicken into strips and place it on top of the pasta.
7. Serve: Plate the dish and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
