Balsmic Bruschetta Chicken Pasta.

Second post of the day - but it's for a good cause.

I made this amazing pasta for lunch today. I got the idea for it from a different recipe, but then I drastically changed it to make it into a pasta - rather than a chicken sandwich.

What you need:
1 lb of chicken, sliced into small pieces
3-4 roma tomatoes or 1 large tomato, diced
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 packet Sweet Tomato Bruschetta Dip mix (by Kraft-I think I got it in the salad dressing aisle at Wal-Mart by the Hidden Valley packets)
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 cup (when dry) mini bow-tie pasta
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

What you do:
First, you slice the chicken up and throw it in a skillet on med-high heat & cook until the pieces are no longer pink. Also, start boiling the water for the pasta - when it is ready throw the pasta in. While the chicken is cooking & the pasta boiling, you can dice up the tomatoes. Then mix them with the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and the bruschetta mix. Set it aside.

When the chicken and pasta are done, add the bruschetta and the pasta to the skillet. Stir them all together to mix and then sprinkle with the Italian seasoning. Finally, cover the mixture with mozzarella cheese. Cover with a lid and let it sit on low heat for about 5 minutes so that the cheese melts.

And that's all! It's super easy to make and it tasted SO good.

Everyone should go make some and try it and then tell me whether you liked it.
