Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breast, pounded into 1/4 inch thickness
  • 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped, fresh spinach
  • salt and pepper
  • 3 tbs olive oil
  • 3 large tomatoes (diced)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/3 pound whole wheat spaghetti
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

For the chicken: Pound our chicken breast into 1/4 inch thickness, then season with salt and pepper. Place cheese and spinach on top and roll chicken. Secure with toothpicks. Sear for 1 minute on each sides in a sautee pan and place in the oven at 350 degrees to cook for 25 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine tomatoes, basil, minced garlic, 1-2 tbs olive oil, and salt and pepper. Place in fridge to chill.

Cook pasta according to package directions. In another saucepan, simmer vinegar over medium-high heat, until it has reduced by half and is similar to a syrup.

Place spaghetti on the plate first, then top with a chicken breast. Spoon half of the bruschetta mixture on the chicken, then drizzle reduced balsamic over everything. Top with parmesan and serve!
