Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 7 cloves garlic, minced (3 for tomatoes, 4 for sauce)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1.5 lb chicken breast (2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts), sliced horizontally
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ lemon, thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
  • 8 oz spaghetti
  • 8 oz Burrata cheese
  • ½ cup fresh basil, chopped
  • ⅓ cup pine nuts, lightly toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 cloves minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.[1][2]
  2. Season chicken breasts with ¼ teaspoon salt, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 5 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove to a plate and slice thinly.[1][2]
  3. In the same skillet, add lemon slices, 4 cloves minced garlic, butter, and red pepper flakes (optional). Cook on medium-low heat for a few minutes to soften garlic and release lemon juices. Remove from heat.[1][2]
  4. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and add to the skillet with the lemon butter garlic sauce. Mix well and remove lemon slices.[1][2]
  5. Top pasta with sliced chicken, roasted tomatoes, and tear Burrata cheese over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh basil and toasted pine nuts (toast at 350°F for 5 minutes).[1][2]

Notes

If burrata is unavailable, fresh mozzarella can be used as a substitute. Watch pine nuts closely while toasting to prevent burning. Meyer lemons are preferred for the sauce for their sweeter flavor.[1]
