Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Cook the pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces of penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.

2
Prepare the chicken

Cut 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast into 1-inch pieces. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

3
Prepare the tomatoes and garlic

Halve 2 cups of cherry tomatoes and mince 4 cloves of garlic.

4
Prepare the basil

Roughly chop 1 cup of fresh basil leaves.

5
Cook the chicken

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

6
Sauté the garlic

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.

7
Combine the ingredients

Add the cooked pasta, halved cherry tomatoes, and reserved pasta cooking water to the skillet with the garlic. Toss to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the tomatoes are slightly softened.

8
Add the chicken and basil

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and add the chopped basil. Toss to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until heated through.

9
Add the cheese and season

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, or to taste.

10
Serve
