Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¾ pound spaghetti (or your favorite pasta)
  • 1 small shallot, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (plus more for garnish)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Balsamic glaze (optional, for garnish)
  • 6 roma tomatoes, diced
  • ¼ cup sliced fresh basil
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and sliced basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the spaghetti according to package directions. Reserve about ½ cup of the pasta water before draining.
  3. Split each chicken breast into 2 thinner cutlets. Season with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken cutlets for about 6 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add more olive oil, diced shallots, and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.
  6. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, toss in the flavored oil, and mix in ¾ of the prepared tomato mixture and ¼ cup grated cheese.
  7. Serve the pasta topped with sliced chicken, remaining tomato bruschetta topping, and additional parmesan. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
