Print Recipe

A vibrant and delightful dish featuring succulent chicken with a fresh bruschetta topping and soft angel hair pasta.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup torn fresh basil, plus extra leaves for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ pound angel hair pasta
  • 1–1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Balsamic glaze, optional
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Combine the Roma tomatoes, minced garlic, torn basil, and balsamic vinegar in a medium bowl. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Allow to sit at room temperature.
  2. Cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and return to the pan, drizzling with olive oil and tossing gently. Set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to rest.
  4. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, stir in the bruschetta mixture, and cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through. Turn off the heat and add the cooked pasta, tossing to combine.
  5. Slice the rested chicken and add it to the pasta. Serve in bowls, garnishing with extra basil leaves and a drizzle of balsamic glaze if desired.

Notes

Consider marinating the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for enhanced flavor.
