Instructions

Cook pasta: Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about ½ cup of pasta water.
Cook chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté onion and garlic: Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
Add tomatoes and broth: Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained) and chicken broth (or white wine). Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Add basil and balsamic glaze: Stir in the chopped basil and balsamic glaze (or balsamic vinegar). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine pasta and sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Add a little of the reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Add chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine.
Serve: Serve the Bruschetta Chicken Pasta hot, topped with Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Chicken: You can also use cooked rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken in this recipe. Just add it to the sauce in the last few minutes of cooking.
Tomatoes: Use good quality diced tomatoes for the best flavor.
Basil: Fresh basil is essential for the flavor of this dish.
Balsamic Glaze: Balsamic glaze is a thicker and sweeter version of balsamic vinegar. If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can use balsamic vinegar.
Pasta Water: The reserved pasta water helps to create a creamy sauce.
