This grilled chicken pasta is a simple meal that’s bursting with flavor. It begins with pasta tossed in a tempting tomato bruschetta that’s served with sliced grilled chicken. And when it’s topped with melted mozzarella and finished with a balsamic glaze and fresh basil, it becomes a real taste sensation.
