Last January I posted some chicken recipes; therefore, I thought I'd post a chicken recipe this January too. I found this recipe on Pinterest. We had it for dinner tonight. I modified the recipe which you'll see below, but here is the real thing from Gina at skinnytaste.com.
Ingredients:
2 skinless chicken breast halves, diced in 1 inch cubes
cooking spray
salt and pepper
8 oz angel hair spaghetti
2 cups grape tomatoes
a shake of garlic powder
4 tsp extra virgin olive oil
4 tbsp chopped fresh basil
Directions:
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
Season diced chicken generously with salt & pepper. Heat a large skillet on high heat. When hot, spray with cooking spray and add chicken. Cook about 3-4 minutes, until no longer pink. Remove chicken and set aside.
Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
While pasta cooks, add olive oil to skillet on high heat. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper and garlic powder. Reduce heat to medium-low. Sauté about 4-5 minutes. Drain pasta. If pasta seems too dry, add some of the reserved pasta water (great idea...why didn't I think of that before?) Top with tomatoes, fresh basil and chicken. Can top with good grated cheese.
