Sun Dried Tomato Bruschetta Chicken With Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.
• Meanwhile, fill a large 12-quart pot with water, cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Drizzle 1 Tbsp olive oil into skillet, immediately add chicken breast. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 3-5 minutes on each side until cooked through.
• While chicken cooks, prepare basil and mozzarella cheese. Chop both into bite size pieces. Drain diced tomatoes into a cup and reserve liquid. In a medium size bowl combine diced tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, basil and ½ of mozzarella cheese. Stir to combine.
• Add a small handful of salt to boiling pasta water. Cook pasta to al dente; meaning it still has a little bite to it (approximately 8-10 minutes).
• Once chicken is cooked, add tomato liquid to pan. Spoon the tomato cheese mixture over the chicken breasts. Cover and reduce to simmer.
• Drain pasta and return to the hot pan. Drizzle pasta with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary. Toss to combine.
• Place pasta and chicken on plate or platter, sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese over top and garnish with basil and sun-dried tomato if desired.
