Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for tomatoes)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (for tomatoes)
  • salt and pepper (for tomatoes)
  • 1.5 lb chicken breast (2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts), sliced in half horizontally
  • ¼ tsp salt (for chicken)
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for chicken)
  • ½ lemon, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (for sauce)
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • ½ tsp 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 tbsp olive oil, 3 cloves minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.[1][2]
  2. Slice chicken breasts horizontally. Season with ¼ tsp salt, 2 tsp smoked paprika, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken 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 for a few minutes. Remove from heat.[1][2]
  4. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and add to skillet with sauce. Mix well and remove lemon slices.[1][2]
  5. Toast pine nuts at 350°F for 5 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.[1]
  6. Top pasta with sliced chicken, roasted tomatoes, and Burrata cheese. Garnish with chopped basil and toasted pine nuts. Serve immediately.[1][2]

Notes

Use Meyer lemon if available for a sweeter flavor. Slice chicken breasts thinly for quicker cooking. Watch pine nuts closely while toasting as they burn easily. Burrata adds a creamy finish – tear it open to let the center ooze over the pasta.
