About bruschetta chicken pasta salad

Can be served as pasta! 

It’s simple to make and very delicious!

All wonderful flavors of bruschetta but packed with protein and spaghetti pasta in it! There’s olive oil, onion, garlic, tomatoes, salt, pepper, Italian herbs and balsamic.

Bruschetta pasta is filling and satisfying dish that’s family favorite.

Go generous on cheese. Give yourself a good generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese over the top before you dig in.

Ingredients you’ll need

Chicken Breasts : Seasoned with simple Italian seasoning. Grill or sear in cast iron pan.

Pasta – Use your favorite pasta. Spaghetti, bow-tie, penne

Bruschetta Sauce  – It screams summer all the way. Using ripe roma tomatoes prepare sauce by sautéing garlic, onions and ripe tomatoes in olive oil. Season it with salt, pepper and dried Italian herbs. Fresh basil adds freshness and wonderful flavor to this sauce.

Toppings – Like any classic bruschetta, balsamic glaze is MUST for this pasta salad. Generous serving of cheese – either Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese can be used.

Expert tips to make best bruschetta chicken pasta salad

  1. Cook pasta al-dente. Pasta will be again tossed in the pan with bruschetta. Overcooked pasta are disappointment.
  2. Balsamic glaze is balsamic vinegar and brown sugar reduced down to thick consistency. You can use store bought glaze like I did.
  3. I choose to use a mix of ripe Roma tomatoes and cherry tomatoes in the recipe. Feel free to use just ripe Roma tomatoes.
  4. Top the pasta salad with plenty of freshly grated cheese. So yum! Feel free to use just Parmesan cheese or Romano cheese or a mix of both.
  5. A good Italian seasoning enhances the flavor and taste of the dish.

FAQS

What type of pasta is best to use to make this salad?

Angel hair spaghetti pasta, regular spaghetti pasta, bow tie pasta are best choices.

Can I use canned tomatoes?

While fresh tomatoes are highly recommended for this salad, you can make this dish with canned diced tomatoes too. Drain the liquids and use only the tomatoes. Remember canned tomatoes will slightly alter the taste of bruschetta chicken pasta salad, it’ll lack the freshness of fresh tomatoes.

Want to make the dish pretty?

Use multi-colored cherry tomatoes cut into halves. Looks very pretty!

How to serve bruschetta chicken pasta?

Bruschetta chicken pasta can be served warm or cold.
We love it as a meal with some crusty bread on the side. If you wish to serve it as a side, serve along with grilled meat.

How to store bruschetta chicken pasta?

Store bruschetta chicken pasta salad in air tight containers in fridge. It will stay good for up-to 3 days.
To serve simply warm up the pasta salad with little olive oil in a pan and serve or if you like it cold, serve as it.

    I love that this bruschetta chicken pasta is loaded with basil, oregano, and rosemary as we kept all of those things in the garden this year and I always keep dried on hand too. This recipe looks perfect for a warm and hearty dinner that my whole house will enjoy!
