@brighteyes847: Golden Seared Chicken and Cherry Tomato Bruschetta Pasta with Fresh Basil and Parmesan RECIPE-COOKING WITH BRIGHT EYES Recipe Ingredients: 12 oz (340g) spaghetti 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, plus extra for garnish 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup reserved pasta water, as needed 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze, optional for drizzling Directions: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Before draining, reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water. Meanwhile, pat the chicken pieces dry and season them with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and sear for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Transfer the chicken to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to blister and release their juices. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together and let the flavors mingle for 1–2 minutes. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet along with the fresh basil. Toss well to coat the pasta with the tomato juices and balsamic mixture. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to create a light, glossy coating. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Toss gently until the cheese melts into the warm pasta. Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil, more Parmesan, and an optional drizzle of balsamic glaze.
