A lively dish bringing together fresh tomatoes, aromatic basil, and tender chicken served over angel hair pasta with a zesty bruschetta topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Roma tomatoes, 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

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Combine diced Roma tomatoes, minced garlic, torn basil, and balsamic vinegar in a medium bowl. Season with Kosher salt and black pepper.
  2. Cook angel hair pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and return to the pan. Toss with olive oil.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a plate and cover.
