Ingredients
Oven-Roasted Tomatoes
- 1 cup tomatoes halved, cherry or grape
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
Pasta
- 4 ounces penne pasta 1 1/3 cup
- 8 ounces chicken breast cubed, boneless; skinless; about 1 small
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese plus more for topping, shredded, 1 oz
Instructions
Oven-Roasted Tomatoes
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease. Toss cherry tomato halves with olive oil and spread out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until nicely roasted.
Pasta
- Once your tomatoes go into the oven, bring a pot of lightly salted water to boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions and set aside.
- While your pasta is cooking, lightly grease a medium skillet with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add chicken, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook until the chicken is well-browned.
- Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 4 to 6 minutes, until thick and saucy and chicken is cooked through. Stir in drained pasta and then gently stir in roasted tomatoes. Top with additional Parmesan cheese if desired, serve and enjoy!
