    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • Salt and pepper
  • For Chicken Pasta:
    • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
    • ¼ tsp salt
    • 2 tsp smoked paprika
    • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • ½ lemon, thinly sliced
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 4 tbsp butter
    • 8 oz spaghetti
    • 8 oz Burrata cheese
  • For Garnish:

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Roasted Tomatoes

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for about 20 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

  • Season the thinly sliced chicken breasts with salt, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
  • Remove from the skillet and slice thinly.

Step 3: Prepare the Lemon Garlic Sauce

  • In the same skillet, add lemon slices, minced garlic, and butter. Cook on low-medium heat for 2-3 minutes to release the lemon’s juices and soften the garlic. Remove from heat.

Step 4: Cook the Spaghetti

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the lemon garlic sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly.

Step 5: Combine Ingredients

  • Add the sliced chicken and roasted tomatoes to the skillet. Gently mix everything together.
  • Remove the lemon slices before serving.

Step 6: Serve with Burrata Cheese

  • When serving, place the spaghetti on plates and top each portion with Burrata cheese. Garnish with fresh basil and toasted pine nuts.

Equipment

Notes

  • For the best flavor, use fresh basil and ripe cherry tomatoes.
  • If you can’t find Burrata cheese, fresh mozzarella balls make a great substitute.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet when roasting the tomatoes. This helps them roast evenly.
  • Lightly toast the pine nuts for a crunchy texture that complements the creamy Burrata.
