GRAPE TOMATO BURRATA CHICKEN PASTA
Doesn’t this look fancy? Seriously, though, it is so easy. Cooking the chicken takes the longest amount of time but by cutting it into small-ish cubes it cooks in 7 to 8 minutes. As well, I used angel hair pasta because it takes just 5 minutes to cook. Of course, you can use any pasta but angel hair and ramen noodles will cook the fastest.

This is a straightforward, easy recipe. Also, it cooks quickly because I cut the chicken small and used angel hair for the pasta.

It’s a satisfying, quick meal for your busy weeknights. It’s really faster than fast food or take out and a lot healthier!

- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 pounds chicken breasts boneless skinless, or thighs cut into chunks
- 1 pint grape tomatoes washed and dried
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes undrained, like this
- 8 ounces burrata cheese like this
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon basil
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon marjoram
- ¼ teaspoon thyme
- 8 ounces angel hair pasta
- fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into chunks and add 2 tablespoons olive oil and half of the seasoning mixture. Toss to coat the chicken. (You can allow this to marinate a few hours if you have time.)
- Heat a large skillet to medium-high. Add the other 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan and swirl around to coat the bottom. When the oil ripples, add the chicken.
- Cook the chicken 3 to 4 minutes on the first side then flip. Once you have flipped the chicken to the second side add the tomatoes to the pan.
- As the chicken and tomatoes cook, cook the pasta according to package directions to al dente. Don't overcook, angel hair pasta cooking in 3 to 5 minutes.
- Cook the tomatoes and chicken for another 3 to 4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the tomatoes have started to burst.
- Add the can of diced tomatoes to the pan and the remaining seasoning. (I like a lot of seasoning but if you don't add part of it and taste and adjust it to your liking.)
- Stir in the cooked pasta.
- Cover and allow it to cook on low for about 8 minutes.
- Remove the lid and break the burrata apart and drop them into the mixture. Cover and let the burrata melt for about 1 minute.
- Serve immediately.
