Chicken with Creamy Bruschetta Pasta
4 servings
30 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 2–3 sprigs fresh basil (rinsed)
  • 2 plum tomatoes (rinsed)
  • 1 (8-oz) package garlic/herb flavored spreadable cheese
  • ½ cup reduced-fat milk
  • 8 oz tomato trinity mix (fresh diced tomatoes, onions, bell peppers)
  • 3 chicken fillets (about 1 ½ lb)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 8 oz dry linguini pasta

Steps

    1. Fill large saucepan half full of water; cover and bring to a boil on high for pasta. Chop basil leaves coarsely; cut tomatoes in small pieces. Place cheese in medium bowl; whisk in milk until smooth. Stir in tomatoes, basil, and tomato trinity mix, then set aside.
    2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Season both sides of chicken with salt (wash hands). Place oil in pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken (wash hands); cook 4–5 minutes on each side or until golden. Meanwhile, stir pasta into boiling water; boil 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until tender.
    3. Reduce heat on chicken to medium; cover and cook 5 more minutes and until 165°F. Drain pasta. Remove chicken from heat; cut into ½-inch-thick slices. Arrange chicken over pasta and top with cheese mixture. Serve.
