01 - 10 oz cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, sliced in half
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
04 - Salt and pepper, to taste

→ Chicken Pasta

05 - 1.5 lb chicken breast (2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts)
06 - ¼ teaspoon salt
07 - 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
08 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
09 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
10 - ½ lemon (preferably Meyer lemon), thinly sliced
11 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
12 - 4 tablespoons butter
13 - 8 oz spaghetti
14 - 8 oz Burrata cheese

→ Garnish

15 - ½ cup fresh basil, chopped
16 - ⅓ cup pine nuts, lightly toasted

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 400 F. Toss cherry tomatoes (sliced in half) with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet without overcrowding. Roast for about 20 minutes.
02 - Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thin pieces. Season with salt, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts for about 5 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove chicken from skillet and slice thinly.
04 - To the same skillet, add lemon slices, minced garlic, and butter. Cook on low-medium heat for 2-3 minutes to release lemon juices and soften the garlic. Remove from heat.
05 - Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook spaghetti as per package instructions. Drain.
06 - Add cooked and drained spaghetti to the skillet with softened lemon slices, garlic, and butter. Toss to combine and remove lemon slices.
07 - Top spaghetti with cooked sliced chicken and roasted tomatoes. Divide Burrata cheese among plates. Finish with chopped basil and toasted pine nuts.

# Notes:

01 - For best flavor, use Meyer lemon if available, and toast the pine nuts lightly to enhance their aroma.
