Chicken Bruschetta Pasta

Ingredients:

• 12 oz spaghetti
• 1½–2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, preferably thin-cut or pounded to an even thickness
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ¾ tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1–2 Tbsp olive oil
• 4 Tbsp butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1½ jars DeLallo Tomato Bruschetta, divided
• ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• ½–¾ cup reserved pasta water, plus more as needed
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Fresh basil, for serving
• Additional Parmesan, for serving

Directions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente according to package directions. Before draining, reserve at least 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain and set aside.
2. While the pasta cooks, season both sides of the chicken with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for approximately 4–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
4. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the same skillet, scraping up all those flavorful browned bits from the chicken. Once melted, add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
5. Add 1 jar DeLallo Tomato Bruschetta to the skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes, just until warmed through.
6. Add the drained spaghetti and ½ cup reserved pasta water to the skillet. Toss until well coated. Gradually add the Parmesan, tossing continuously until the butter, Parmesan and pasta water create a glossy sauce. Add additional pasta water a little at a time as needed.
7. If needed for space, transfer the spaghetti to a larger oven-safe skillet. Arrange the cooked chicken breasts over the spaghetti.
8. Spoon the remaining ½ jar of DeLallo Bruschetta generously over the chicken. Sprinkle the mozzarella primarily over the chicken, allowing a little to fall onto the spaghetti.
9. Place under the broiler for about 2–3 minutes, watching closely, until the mozzarella is melted and beginning to turn golden.
10. Top with fresh basil and additional Parmesan and serve warm.
