My daughter told me about this recipe that she saw on a local TV station where she lives. It is probably the FASTEST meal I have ever made! You can make the entire thing in less than 15 minutes! It is very healthy and has great flavor (if you like balsamic vinegar - which I definitely DO!) . Thanks for the great recipe Jen!
This is a rustic Italian dish that is great and SO easy!
Simply put the chicken, tomatoes and asparagus on a cookie sheet.
Pour the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic and basil over the other ingredients.
This is what it looks like after just 7-8 minutes under the broiler.
Pour all the ingredients over pasta, add the cheese and enjoy!
Rustic Balsamic Chicken with Roasted Tomatoes and Asparagus
Adapted from a recipe by Laura Wolford
1 lb. penne pasta
4 chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
1 carton of grape tomatoes
½ c olive oil
½ c balsamic vinegar
about 12 fresh basil leaves chopped or dried basil
10 spears of thin asparagus cut into 1” pieces
1 tsp minced garlic
4 oz grated Parmesan cheese
1. Prepare pasta according to package directions. Set aside.
2. Meanwhile toss chicken pieces, tomatoes, asparagus, oil, vinegar, garlic and basil on a cookie sheet that has a 1” lip.
3. Broil for 7-10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. (I wasn’t sure it would cook that quickly, but it does!) Pour the entire mixture over pasta. Use a rubber scraper to get every bit of the yummy seasoning from the baking sheet. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.
