Bruschetta Chicken Pasta

This healthy chicken pasta recipe is jazzed up with traditional bruschetta toppers, including cherry tomatoes, garlic and basil. Multicolored cherry tomatoes look pretty, but you can use all one color of tomato too. Either way, you've got an easy weeknight dinner that's ready in 25 minutes. We've called for spaghettini (thin spaghetti) in this recipe, but feel free to use your favorite shape of pasta.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces whole-wheat spaghettini
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon dried italian seasoning
  • 2 pints multicolored cherry tomatoes

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
