Ingredients
- For the Roasted Tomatoes:
- 10 oz cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes (sliced in half)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- For the Chicken Pasta:
- 1.5 lb chicken breast (2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ lemon (preferably, Meyer lemon) thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 8 oz spaghetti
- 8 oz Burrata cheese
- For Garnish:
- ½ cup fresh basil (chopped)
- ⅓ cup pine nuts (lightly toasted)
Instructions
- Roast the Tomatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss cherry tomatoes (sliced in half) with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Roast for about 20 minutes while you prepare the pasta.
- Prepare the Chicken: Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thin pieces. Season the chicken with salt, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside. Slice it thinly.
- Make the Lemon Butter Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, add lemon slices, minced garlic, and butter. Cook on low-medium heat for a couple of minutes to release lemon juices and soften the garlic. Remove from heat.
- Cook the Spaghetti: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked and drained pasta to the skillet with lemon slices, garlic, and butter. Mix well and remove the lemon slices.
- Assemble the Dish: Top the pasta with the sliced chicken and roasted tomatoes. Add Burrata cheese and gently mix. Garnish with fresh basil and lightly toasted pine nuts.
