Caprese Chicken Pasta

Preparación

1. 1

   Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

2. 2

   While the pasta is cooking, dice the tomatoes and mince the garlic. Cut the mozzarella into small cubes and set aside.

3. 3

   Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chicken breast until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing it into strips.

4. 4

   In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add a little olive oil if needed. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

5. 5

   Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the tomatoes start to soften.

6. 6

   Slice the rested chicken breast and add it back to the skillet with the tomatoes. Stir to combine and heat through.

7. 7

   Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the chicken and tomatoes, tossing to combine and heat everything through.

8. 8

   Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the mozzarella cubes until they start to melt slightly from the residual heat.
