Equipment

  • ⦁ Large pot
  • ⦁ Grill pan or skillet
  • ⦁ Cutting board
  • ⦁ Knife
  • ⦁ Large mixing bowl
  • ⦁ Tongs
  • Serving plates

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 12 ounces penne or spaghetti pasta
  • 2 cups fresh tomatoes (diced)
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Prepare the bruschetta: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and set aside to let the flavors meld together.
  • Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and let it rest before slicing into thin strips.
  • Assemble the dish: In a large serving bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the bruschetta mixture. Add the sliced chicken on top. Give everything a gentle toss and serve immediately.
  • Serve: Plate the pasta and garnish with a little extra fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

When making this dish, make sure your chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F) to ensure it’s safe to eat. You can substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs if preferred. If you prefer a more robust flavor, you can even grill the chicken before slicing.
