Sweet Basil and Oregano Bruschetta Chicken Pasta
This bruschetta chicken pasta has great notes of basil and oregano and is super easy to put together for an quick weeknight meal.
This Bruschetta Chicken Pasta is made with the McCormick Gourmet Sweet Basil and Oregano Bruschetta Seasoning Mix. You could get a similar result by combining 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon salt, 2 teaspoon basil, 2 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika). While I would like to call this a sheet pan dinner. There is the additional step of cooking the pasta on the stove. So maybe we can call it a mock sheet pan recipe.
During the peak of garden season I'm always looking for ways to use up the tomatoes from the garden. This recipes fits the bill perfectly. Using up 2 lbs of cherry tomatoes you can also swap out with regular tomatoes, just dice them up smaller.

Olive Oil: a good quality olive oil really does make a difference. I love my olive oils from Ampersand Oil & Vinegar and you can read more about your olive oil here.
Balsamic Vinegar: again I love a good quality balsamic and I get mine from Ampersand Oil & Vinegar and you can read more about your vinegars here.
Tomatoes: Cherry tomatoes from the garden are my favorite. Larger tomatoes can also be used if they are cut up into smaller pieces.
Chicken: I used chicken breasts and shredded them after cooking. However, I would prefer to cut into smaller chunks before cooking so I didn't have to worry about shredding.
Pasta: This recipe uses cavatappi, but any will work. I really think spaghetti would be great here.
