Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup torn fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ pound angel hair pasta
  • 11½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Balsamic glaze (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Combine the diced Roma tomatoes, minced garlic, torn basil leaves, and balsamic vinegar in a medium bowl. Season generously with Kosher salt and black pepper. Allow this mixture to sit at room temperature.
  2. Cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and return to the pan, drizzling with 1 tablespoon olive oil and tossing gently.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a plate, cover with foil, and let 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 breasts and add them to the pasta. Divide into bowls and garnish with additional fresh basil and balsamic glaze if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For added richness, consider incorporating roasted red peppers or feta cheese, or substitute chicken with grilled shrimp.
