How do you make bruschetta chicken with pasta? (step-by-step directions)
⭐ First, slice all the cherry tomatoes in half and cut the basil. In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, basil, garlic, balsamic glaze, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and place in the refrigerator to chill.
⭐ Next, season the chicken with Italian seasoning and salt and pepper. Add oil to a medium size skillet and cook the chicken on medium heat. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles until al dente according to package directions.
⭐ Then, once the chicken is cooked, remove from the pan and add more oil to the pan. Add the tomato mixture from the fridge and cook, stirring until heated through.
⭐ Finally, add the cooked pasta to the pan and stir, making sure everything is coated. Add the chicken back to the pan on top of the pasta and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Preparation
What in the does chiffonade mean?!
Chiffonade means “little ribbons” in French, which is exactly what you are about to create! Stack the basil leaves and roll them up, then slice them with a knife until almost shredded. This will create long strands (or ribbons) of basil mixed throughout the pasta.

We used angel hair pasta for this recipe but it will work well with any type of pasta you enjoy, short or long. Try it with fettuccine noodles or even with bowtie pasta!
What cut of chicken to use for bruschetta chicken pasta?
