Bruschetta Chicken Pasta… It was time to make a kick-ass carb recipe that you won’t regret!

With nearly ALL of the salads on this site full of lettuce and good-for-you-vegetables, it was time to bust out some carbs and give you something different. This is one recipe that I had to go digging into the archives for! Two years ago, I made and posted this Chicken Bruschetta Pasta Salad which had been an emergency lunch for a few weeks (back then), and shared it before I knew how to focus a camera lens even. Anyway, the point is, that salad went crazy loco world wide with the embarrassing photo attached to it. The only problem, is, that recipe is a single serve recipe — a lazy girls recipe — and I’ve been busting to remake it ever since. Fast forward two years to a better lens and a bit more patience, and here we are. Again.

Ingredients

1 pound (500 g) thin spaghetti pasta, (dry weight)
1 pound (500 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts, (2 large breasts)
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped (about 1/3 of a red onion)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, (adjust to your tastes)
8 roma tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more to serve
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil or parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste
Balsamic glaze to serve (optional) -- I use store bought

Instructions

Cook pasta according to package directions; Drain and rinse in cold water. Transfer to a large bowl; set aside.
While the pasta is boiling, season chicken with the herbs, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil on in a grill pan or skillet, and sear chicken breasts over medium-high heat until browned on both sides and cooked through (about 6 minutes each side). Remove from pan; set aside and allow to rest.
Add the remaining olive oil to the same hot pan / skillet. When hot, sauté the garlic and red onion until garlic is fragrant (about 1 minute). Turn off heat.
