    I don’t know about you, but I love pasta dishes! So many varieties and ways to change up flavors!

    Last week, I decided to combine Bruschetta, seasoned chicken, and pasta! It tasted incredible! This dish has tons of flavor and my entire family, kids included, cleared our plates in no time!

    The Bruschetta was able to marinate for about 20 minutes while I was preparing the other ingredients, and therefore, it really enhanced the flavor!

    I sprinkled some fresh Parmesan cheese on top at the end and it finished this dish off perfectly! Even grated works if that’s all you have on hand! Yes, I am referring to the green can, no judging here!

    Serve this pasta with some garlic bread and a salad, or perhaps some fresh fruit. My kids aren’t big into salad, so I opted for some dinner rolls only!

    The best part, they were too busy shoveling the pasta in their mouths, they didn’t even realize they were eating tomatoes, haha! Now, I think it was also because we were all having a late dinner and starving, but, nonetheless, I call that a win!

    As for the serving amount this recipe makes, the five of us were able to enjoy this and still have enough for 2 lunches the following day. It reheated perfectly, so we thoroughly enjoyed our leftovers!

    If you’re looking for a light, simple, and tasty pasta dinner to try, look no further because this one is a hit!

    Keep me posted if you try this Bruschetta Chicken Pasta and if you’re a gardener, this is a great way to use up some fresh tomatoes when they are in season! *Check out the video tutorial above as well!

      Made it for dinner and it was delicious! I used balsamic vinegar in the bruschetta and balsamic glaze on the finished dish. It is a new favorite!

      Holy Toledo. Ahhhhhhhmazing. I didn’t have cherry tomatoes so I used Campari, and I used chicken tenders because it’s what we had. Followed the recipe and it was so good. Next time I’m using fresh mozz.

      I just made this for dinner, however I added sliced mushrooms, that I sauteed in a little butter & olive oil. I couldn’t wait to taste it, so I had a small dish if it. It was like a breath of sunshine! It was delicious, I never tasted anything like it, thank you for sharing this! It will be one of the new “Special Dinners” that we have on special occasions!!

          Am confused, I thought bruschetta was bread.

          It’s more of the tomato, basil, oil combination. The classic version is served over bread, however, this is served in tender pasta. Enjoy!

      The whole family, including guests RAVED over this dish!! I tossed with veggie spaghetti and served with garlic bread. The balsamic glaze really oomphs it up at the end! We are already fighting over who gets the leftovers tomorrow. Lol Thanks for sharing!

      Made this two nights ago. It was horribly DRY! I had made plenty so last night I added a jar of marinara sauce to everything and it was much better.

        Bummer to hear it was dry! It definitely is not a saucey pasta, but shouldn’t have been dry! Glad marinara was able to fix it!
