Angel Hair with Cherry Tomatoes

A perfectly TANGY pasta dish…we ate this until we were stuffed! And there’s a ton of pasta leftover too!

My camera battery needed a recharge, so this iphone photo and the below vlog will have to do! I’m *hoping* to do more vlogs from here on out!

  • In large saucepan, cook angel hair pasta according to package instructions, while veggies are sizzling! Drain. Add to skillet with vegetables. (I only used about half of the pasta...half filled up my largest skillet...and we were still stuffed!)
  • Cut chicken breasts portion from the bones of the split chicken breasts, and cut into 1/2 inch wide strips. Save bones and use to make stock...soup season isn't too far off! Saute in 2 tsp olive oil with salt and pepper for 6-8 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in the middle. Mix in with the pasta and veggies or serve on the side.
  • Steam broccoli in stovetop steamer or in the microwave, covered with plastic wrap.
