Ingredients
Method
Prepare the chicken
- Marinate the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Roast the tomatoes
- Add grape tomatoes to a baking dish and drizzle generously with olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Season with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, minced garlic, parsley, and oregano.
- Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and beginning to burst. Gently press them with a spoon halfway through if needed.
Cook the chicken and vegetables
- Sear the chicken in a skillet for about 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
- In the same pan, sauté the diced red pepper and onion until softened.
Combine and bake
- Add the seared chicken and sautéed peppers and onions to the baking dish with the roasted tomatoes.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should be 165°F).
Prepare the pasta and sauce
- Cook the pasta until al dente.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven, take out the chicken, and set it aside.
- Stir the stracciatella cheese into the roasted tomato mixture until creamy.
- Fold in fresh basil and top with shredded parmesan.
Assemble the dish
- Toss the pasta with the sauce.
- Plate the pasta and top with sliced chicken and extra parmesan.
Notes
- If the tomatoes don’t burst easily, gently press them with a spoon halfway through roasting.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for a longer time before cooking.
- This dish tastes even better the next day, so consider making it ahead of time.
