Description
A delightful pasta dish featuring tender lemon garlic chicken, creamy burrata cheese, and sweet roasted cherry tomatoes, all tossed with spaghetti.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 lb spaghetti
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 ball (8 oz) burrata cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until softened and slightly burst.
- While tomatoes are roasting, cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water.
- Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in white wine (if using) and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
- Add chicken broth and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer.
- Return chicken to the skillet. Add cooked spaghetti and roasted tomatoes. Toss to combine.
- Add chopped parsley and a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to create a light sauce.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, topping each portion with pieces of burrata cheese. The burrata will melt slightly from the heat of the pasta.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
- If you don’t have white wine, you can skip it or use more chicken broth.
- Ensure the burrata is at room temperature for the best melting experience.
