6 chopped basil leaves, or more as per taste

A head of garlic, cloves separated, peeled, and chopped

Istruzioni

Marinate the chicken with Italian dressing, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a plastic bag. Ensure even coating. Refrigerate it for 15 mins to 4 hours.

While the chicken marinates, mix the Roma tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet, and cook the chicken until it's golden brown and the juices are clear (around 5-7 mins per side). Use a thermometer to ensure it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cut the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Boil a pot of lightly-salted water and cook the angel hair pasta until it's al dente (4-5 mins).

In the skillet, remove the excess oil. Sauté the onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until it's translucent (3-4 mins).

Add the bruschetta mixture to the skillet, cook it for 3-4 minutes, and remove it from the heat.

Drain the pasta and toss it in the skillet with the bruschetta.

Serve the pasta on a plate, topped with the cooked chicken. Enjoy!
