Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 8 ounces pasta of your choice (such as penne or fusilli)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Preparation:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped basil, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the tomatoes evenly.
  4. Spread the tomato mixture around the chicken breasts on the baking sheet.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the tomatoes have softened and started to caramelize.
  6. While the chicken is roasting, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  7. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
  8. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked pasta, roasted tomatoes, and sliced chicken to the skillet. Toss gently to combine and heat through for a few minutes.
  9. Serve the pasta in individual bowls or plates. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
  10. Enjoy the Roasted Tomato Basil and Garlic Chicken Pasta while it’s warm and flavorful.
