Indulge in the comforting flavors of Italy with this quick and satisfying chicken and pasta dish, perfect for a cozy dinner tonight!
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 10-12 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Next, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the chicken is cooked, add the cherry tomatoes (cut in half) and cook for an additional 5 minutes until they soften and release their juices.
When the pasta is ready, drain it and add it directly to the skillet with the chicken and tomatoes. Toss everything together to combine.
Add the fresh basil leaves torn into pieces, and Parmesan cheese. Stir well to coat the pasta.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan and basil if desired.
