Bruschetta Chicken & Pasta

Bruschetta Chicken & Pasta is one of my favorite meals of all time! Not only is it delicious, but it's relatively quick & easy.

Ingredients:

• Roma tomatoes, finely diced

• garlic, minced

• fresh basil, chopped

• extra virgin olive oil

• balsamic vinegar

• boneless skinless chicken breasts

• ground black pepper

• garlic powder

• whole wheat pasta 

• shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired

Directions:

• In a medium sized bowl, combine your tomatoes, garlic & basil. 

• Add just a bit of extra virgin olive oil & balsamic vinegar, stirring to combine. 

• Allow bruschetta topping to sit so that the flavors combine. 

• Cook chicken in a grill pan (or on an actual grill if you prefer), until cooked through (roughly 7-10 minutes), carefully seasoning both sides with black pepper & garlic powder. 

• In the meantime, cook the pasta according to package directions. 

• When chicken is done, before removing from the grill pan (or grill), splash with a bit of balsamic vinegar, thoroughly coating on both sides. 

• To serve, top pasta with sliced chicken, bruschetta topping & Parmesan cheese if desired.
