    Angel Hair with Cherry Tomatoes

    Tangy and filling!
    Prep Time10 minutes
    Cook Time25 minutes
    Servings - 4 servings

    Ingredients 

    • 1/4 cup olive oil
    • 1/2 tsp salt and pepper, each
    • 3 large garlic cloves, crushed
    • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
    • Handful of green beans, cut in tiny pieces
    • Handful of basil
    • 1 lb. angel hair pasta
    • 2 split breast chickens, deboned
    • 2 tsp olive oil
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 2 broccoli heads

    Instructions

    • In large skillet, add 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, pepper, crushed garlic, halved cherry tomatoes, itty bitty green beans, and chopped basil. Saute over medium heat for8-10 minutes, or until skins start to peel away from tomatoes.
    • 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.

      I love me a good bowl of pasta….I definitely know the meaning of “eating until you are stuffed!”. Tomato and basil is such a classic combo, I bet the spaghetti is great.

      I made this tonight and it was really good. I used leftover chicken I had in the freezer and made corn on the cob instead of broccoli. Thanks for the great idea!
