Chicken Bruschetta Pasta Salad
Oh carbs. How I love carbs! And pasta makes me go super weak at the knees.
The pasta I used for this is a Spelt spaghetti from the supermarket. So filling I could only eat half!! And no bloating issues! Just what I need.
I highly recommend spelt to everyone and anyone. Since reading up on it online, I am a loyal and faithful convert. It is a little more expensive than regular old pasta, but so worth the extra $$!
This was so easy to make with very few ingredients.
The following recipe is a single serve recipe, as it was more of an emergency lunch I cooked up while on my solo…however feel free to adjust the quantities to how many serves you need.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup boiled pasta, drained (60g dry weight)
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tomato, finely chopped
- Fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
- 1 small chicken breast, (135g), pre-grilled and seasoned with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KACQMCS/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00KACQMCS&linkCode=as2&tag=cafedeli-20&linkId=46MIA3SNQHDQUHCH">Flavor God Everything Seasoning</a><img src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=cafedeli-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00KACQMCS" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> (or any garlic powder or seasoning of choice)
- 1 teaspoon garlic olive oil
- Drizzle of balsamic glaze
Instructions

- Mix through the oil and season with a little salt (to suit your tastes)
- Top with chicken and drizzle with balsamic glaze
- That's it!
- Sprinkle with some parmesan cheese. Pour yourself a glass of wine...I MEAN water! (Ahem). Put your feet up and enjoy!

Hi! I’m so sorry about this. It seems to be a technical issue on mobile only and we are working on it right now. The recipes are on desktop if you need them urgently! Hopefully we will have all recipes up again soon! Thank you for your patience! Karina X

I read through the instructions however, I don’t see where the basil leaves come into play. Help?
Karina says
The basil is optional but it can go on the pasta and tomatoes. Sorry for the confusion. Thank you for pointing that out to me! I will edit that! Thank you for following along with me! XO
