Bruschetta Chicken Pasta

Simple, easy, inexpensive, delicious, and nutritious. After making it just one time, it became a family favorite. I've made a few modifications from the original posted recipe on Tasty.com but it is still super easy and super yummy. Enjoy!

• 1 lb. angel hair
• 1 lb. cherry tomatoes, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 c. torn fresh basil
• kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 3/4 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
• 1/4 c. grated Parmesan

In a large bowl, stir together tomatoes, 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, basil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Let sit 20 minutes. 

Meanwhile bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair until al dents, 4 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. 

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat remaining tablespoon olive oil. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink, 10 minutes per side. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly. 

Add tomato mixture and sliced chicken to angel hair and toss until fully combined. Top with Parmesan and drizzle with olive oil and serve.
