Bruschetta Chicken Pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that combines the flavors of bruschetta with perfectly cooked chicken and pasta, all coated in a savory balsamic glaze and topped with gooey melted cheese.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Penne Pasta:

  • 12 oz penne pasta

Chicken:

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)

Other Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes (halved)

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Penne Pasta: Cook penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté chicken pieces until browned and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté garlic, add cherry tomatoes, then return chicken to the skillet along with cooked pasta, basil, balsamic vinegar, and balsamic glaze. Cook until heated through.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, skip the mozzarella and use just Parmesan.
