If you’re lookin’ for somethin’ hearty and full of flavor, this pasta’s gonna be your best friend. You know, it’s the kinda dish that can make any ol’ weeknight feel special, even if you ain’t got nothin’ fancy in the house.
Now, let’s start with the chicken, ’cause that’s where the magic begins. You get yourself some chicken breasts, real good ones, not them thin slices. Season both sides with a little salt and black pepper. Don’t be shy now, make sure it’s all over. You ain’t gotta go overboard, just enough to get that taste in there. Then, ya gotta grill ’em. I usually toss ’em on the grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side. You wanna get them grill marks, you know, make ’em look like they’ve been cookin’ over an open fire, just like in the old days. And you want them to reach 165°F, so make sure to check with a thermometer if you got one.
While that chicken’s grillin’, you can be workin’ on your pasta. Now, I ain’t picky about the pasta you use, but I like a good spaghetti or penne. Boil that up till it’s nice and tender. Don’t let it get too soggy though. Once it’s done, drain it and set it aside, but keep a little bit of that pasta water. It helps later on when you make the sauce all come together.
Next thing you gotta do is make that bruschetta topping. This part is important, so listen close. You’ll need some fresh tomatoes, ripe and juicy. Chop them up real small, get rid of the seeds if you can. Then, grab a handful of fresh basil, chop it up too. Now, mix them tomatoes and basil together in a bowl. Add a little garlic—maybe two or three cloves, minced up good. And don’t forget the olive oil. A couple tablespoons of that goes a long way. Salt and pepper again, just to make sure it all tastes right. Stir it up, and there you go, that’s the bruschetta part.
Now, once your chicken’s done grillin’ and your pasta’s ready, it’s time to bring it all together. Slice that chicken into nice strips. Then, in a big ol’ bowl, toss your pasta with the bruschetta topping. You want every noodle to be coated with that fresh, garlicky tomato goodness. Lay your grilled chicken on top of the pasta, make it look pretty. You can even throw a little bit of Parmesan cheese on top if you want, but that’s up to you. Some folks like it cheesy, some don’t. If you ask me, a little cheese never hurt nobody.
And there ya go, your TGI Fridays Bruschetta Chicken Pasta is ready to serve. It’s a dish that’ll make anyone think you spent all day in the kitchen, but really, it’s just a few simple steps.
