Balsamic Chicken and Pasta
Ingredients
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1-2 oz fresh basil leaves
- 2 tbsp
Primo Olive Oil - 2 tbsp
Primo Balsamic Vinegar - 4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 11 oz Primo Tri-Colore Wheels Pasta
- 3 cups grape tomatoes halved
Instructions
- 1. For marinade: In a blender combine minced garlic and ⅓ of the basil leaves. Blend until fine. Add in olive oil and blend. Then add in the balsamic and blend again.
- 2. Coat chicken with contents of blender, salt, and pepper then seal in a ziplock bag to marinate for at least 2 hours.
- 3. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- 4. In a large pan, cook chicken for 4-5 minutes on both sides until browned. Transfer chicken to a baking dish and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until cooked thoroughly. Once cooked, cut chicken into ¼ inch strips then return them to the baking dish to keep warm.
- 5. While the chicken is baking, boil a pot of water and cook pasta until it’s al dente (fully cooked but still firm). Drain the pasta.
- 6. Combine the chicken and chicken juices from the baking tray with the pasta.
- 7. Cut remaining basil into thin slices and put them into a large serving bowl along with the grape tomatoes. Stir in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt & pepper to taste.
- 8. Add in pasta and chicken, then toss to combine all the ingredients.
