The cooking process explained

Making this Bruschetta Chicken Pasta is simple and rewarding. You’ll start by cooking penne pasta, then sauté aromatic garlic and onion in olive oil. As the tomatoes soften, the dish really begins to come together. Finally, toss in the grilled chicken and pasta, drizzle with balsamic, and finish with fresh basil. Easy, right?

What you’ll need

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, grilled and sliced
• 1 pound penne pasta
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

You can easily substitute whole wheat pasta for a healthier option, or use a different cheese if you prefer something other than Parmesan.
