Ingredients

  • 10 ounces uncooked angel hair pasta
  • 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1½ cups diced tomatoes about 3 tomatoes
  • ¼ cup fresh chopped basil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar optional
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • balsamic glaze optional for garnish
  • grated parmesan cheese optional for garnish

Instructions

  • Lightly pound 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast to a thickness of 1 inch. Season the chicken with ½ teaspoon salt and 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning on both sides.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Set the chicken aside.
  • In a large pot of water, boil 10 ounces uncooked angel hair pasta according to the package instructions. Do not drain the pasta. Keep it in the hot water until you add it to the skillet.
  • In a medium bowl, add 1½ cups diced tomatoes, ¼ cup fresh chopped basil, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, if using. Stir to combine, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the bruschetta mixture to the skillet. Stir and cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the hot pasta. Toss to coat the noodles in the bruschetta mixture, adding more olive oil if needed. 
  • Slice the chicken and serve on top of the bruschetta pasta. Garnish with balsamic glaze and grated parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes

Leftover Instructions
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or a skillet. 
  • Freezer: I don't recommend freezing this pasta! It's best enjoyed fresh.
