Ingredients

Roasted Tomatoes:

10 oz cherry or grape tomatoes (sliced in half)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic (minced)

Salt and pepper to taste

Chicken Pasta:

1.5 lb chicken breast (2 skinless, boneless breasts)

¼ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ lemon (preferably Meyer lemon), thinly sliced

4 cloves garlic

4 tablespoons butter

8 oz burrata cheese

2 tablespoons pine nuts (toasted)

Instructions

  • Roast the tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 20 minutes.

  • Prepare the chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook chicken over medium heat for 7-8 minutes per side. Set aside and slice.

  • Make the lemon butter sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter and cook the garlic and lemon slices for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

  • Cook the spaghetti: Boil pasta according to package instructions, then toss it into the lemon butter sauce. Remove lemon slices before serving.

  • Toast the pine nuts: In a separate pan, toast pine nuts at 350°F for 5 minutes until golden and fragrant.

  • Assemble the dish: Combine roasted tomatoes, chicken, and spaghetti. Top with burrata, fresh basil, and toasted pine nuts.

Notes

  • Storage/Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with olive oil or butter.

  • Make Ahead: Prepare the chicken and roasted tomatoes in advance, and reheat before serving with freshly cooked pasta.

  • Variation: You can swap out the burrata with mozzarella or ricotta. Try adding more vegetables or even a spicy kick with red pepper flakes.
