Equipment

  • 1 Large Pot
  • 1 Colander
  • 1 Large bowl
  • 1 Grill pan or skillet
  • 1 Tongs or spatula
  • measuring spoons
  • Cutting board and knife
  • 1 Mixing spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Banza spaghetti pasta Or a similar brand/product
  • 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 tsp Dried basil
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp Red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
  • 8 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup Grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp Fresh basil, finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
  • While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken with herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and let it rest.
  • In the same pan or skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the garlic and red onion until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat.
  • Add the tomatoes to the pan and toss lightly to warm them through and combine the flavors. Pour the tomato mixture over the pasta.
  • Mix in the vinegar, Parmesan cheese, and basil or parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Slice the chicken and add it to the pasta.
  • Toss all the ingredients together until well combined. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can add more herbs or garlic for extra flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or broth to maintain moisture.
