🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated or shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

- 12 oz spaghetti pasta
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Start by mixing the cherry tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate this Bruschetta mixture to marinate.
2. Boil the spaghetti pasta in salted water until al dente, then drain.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, sprinkle with Italian seasoning, and cook until golden and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and the marinated Bruschetta mixture. Sauté for about one minute, just until everything is heated through.
5. Toss the cooked pasta, sautéed Bruschetta, and cooked chicken together. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
6. Serve the pasta with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of balsamic glaze if desired.
