  • 1 pound penne pasta

Tomato Mixture

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta thoroughly and set it aside.

  4. Add Chicken: Add the sliced grilled chicken breasts to the skillet with the pasta and tomato mixture. Toss everything together carefully to combine and warm the chicken.

  • If you prefer a warm tomato mixture, you can lightly sauté the tomatoes and onion before combining with pasta.
  • Fresh basil is key to capturing the authentic bruschetta flavor.
  • Adjust balsamic vinegar and olive oil quantities to taste for more tang or richness.
  • Serve with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
