Ingredients
→ Bruschetta
1 pound Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup torn fresh basil, plus extra for garnish
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
→ Chicken & Pasta
½ pound angel hair pasta
1–1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking pasta and chicken)
Balsamic glaze, optional for serving
Instructions
Make the Bruschetta:
In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, minced garlic, torn basil, and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature.
Cook Pasta:
Cook angel hair pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and return to pot. Toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Cook Chicken:
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook 4–5 minutes per side or until internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove and let rest.
Heat Bruschetta & Combine:
In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and briefly sauté the bruschetta mixture for 1–2 minutes until warmed. Turn off the heat, add the pasta to the skillet, and toss to combine.
Slice Chicken & Serve:
Slice chicken and serve over pasta. Garnish with fresh basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired. Optional: sprinkle with grated Parmesan or Mozzarella (not dairy-free).
Notes
For extra flavor, top with cheese or drizzle more balsamic glaze.
Great served warm or slightly chilled as a pasta salad variation.
Resting the chicken after cooking ensures juicy, tender slices.
