Bruschetta Chicken Pasta

Bruschetta is one of my favorite things, but admittedly it isn’t quite as good as it used to be over gluten free bread. While gluten free products have come a long way in flavor and options, some things can’t beat really nice, fresh bread. So, when I saw this I jumped on it, because one thing that IS just fine gluten free pasta! This was quick, simple, and a really bright summer dinner! It would honestly be fine without the chicken, too, if you’re looking for a vegetarian option. Recipe is from Delish, modified for GF.

  • 1 lb. cherry tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/4 c. plus 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 c. torn fresh basil
  • kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lb. spaghetti or angel hair (I used GF spaghetti)
  • 1 1/2 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used a mix because we had thighs that needed to be used up(=)
  • 1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan

In a large bowl, stir together tomatoes, 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic and basil and season generously with salt and pepper. Let it sit while you cook the pasta and chicken.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat remaining tablespoon olive oil. Add chicken and season with Italian seasoning salt, and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, 10 minutes per side. Let rest 5 minutes, then thinly slice.

Add tomato mixture and sliced chicken to pasta and toss until fully combined. Top with Parmesan.
