Ingredients
Scale
8 ounces penne pasta
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup balsamic glaze
Instructions
Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the skillet, tossing everything together.
Stir in the fresh basil and mozzarella cheese until well combined.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in balsamic vinegar for 30 minutes before cooking.
You can also substitute the mozzarella with feta cheese for a tangy twist.
