Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side or until they are cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C). Remove the chicken from the grill, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.

Step 3

While the chicken is grilling, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and season with salt and black pepper. Simmer the tomato sauce for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Add the cooked pasta to the tomato sauce and toss to combine. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped fresh basil leaves and the sliced grilled chicken.

Step 8

Serve the Tomato Basil Pasta with Grilled Chicken hot, optionally topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
