Blistered Tomato Pasta with Chicken

Step 1

Place the olive oil and garlic in a large skillet and heat on medium-high heat. Once the garlic becomes fragrant, add the shallots and sauté, stirring continuously, until tender; about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken and brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm.

Step 2

Turn the heat to high and add the tomatoes along with the next five ingredients (garlic salt through oregano) to the pan. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes burst and release their juices.

Step 3

Once the tomatoes have burst, add the chicken back to the pan and reduce heat to medium-high.

Step 4

While the chicken and tomatoes are cooking, boil the pasta according to package directions omitting additional salt and oil. Stir in one cup of the pasta water.

Step 5

Once the sauce has thickened, toss the pasta lightly into the sauce before serving with garlic bread.
