Lemon Bruschetta Pasta with Grilled Chicken from KatiesCucina.com

Bruschetta. How I love thee. I could eat bowls full of tomato and basil bruschetta. It had been a few years since last making a bruschetta chicken pasta. It use to be my go-to meal and to be honest I have no clue why it fell off the radar. I never blogged about it, so that right there tells me that I think its been almost 4 years since I’ve last made it. If I didn’t blog about it most likely it can be dated as a pre-blog recipe. When I made the recipe I would use a soup-mix pouch to get a lot of the flavors. I did not have the mix on hand and figured I would create my own version using fresh ingredients and flavors!

I also had fresh homemade spaghetti on hand. I knew I needed to use it up and that is how this Lemon Bruschetta Pasta with Grilled Chicken came to life. You see, in the summer months I do everything possible to not turn on my oven. I will cook on the stove-top (although still heats up the house quite a bit). Since the pasta was already cooked all I really needed to do was heat up the sauce and in the last few minutes of cooking add the freshly made spaghetti. I fired up my grill and cooked 2 chicken breast which we then turned into a meal for four (or dinner for the two of us and lunch the next day for both of us). If you are looking for a fresh new take on Italian comfort food I would highly suggest you give this recipe a try!

For The Chicken

  • 2 Chicken Breast
  • 2 tablespoon McCormick Grill Mates® Roasted Garlic & Herb Seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil

  • 3 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 cups Diced Roma Tomatoes 4 tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest

Instructions

For the Chicken:

  • Pre-heat grill to medium-high heat. Clean grill well then reduce grill to medium heat.
  • While the grill is pre-heating, in a zip top bag add chicken breast, Roasted Garlic & Herb Seasoning, and olive oil. Seal bag and mix well until the chicken has been coated with the seasoning.
  • Place on the grill and cook for 12 minutes (turning once in between). Using a thermometer, make sure the internal temperature reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove chicken from the grill, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice chicken at a diagonal.

  • Toss cooked pasta into the sauce and cook for one additional minute. Before plating, add fresh basil leaves. Mix well, and then divide the pasta amongst four plates. Add half a chicken breast on top of each plate of pasta and enjoy!

Notes

Swap in gluten-free pasta if needed.

    Made this pasta for my husband and myself. He couldn’t stop raving about how amazing it was. When I told him I saw it a couple months ago and figured I would give it a try he looked at me and exclaimed, “you’ve had this for months and just now made it!?” Needless to say it gets made once a week now.
