- 8 ounces pasta of your choice (such as penne or fusilli)

Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

- Spread the tomato mixture around the chicken breasts on the baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the tomatoes have softened and started to caramelize.
- While the chicken is roasting, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked pasta, roasted tomatoes, and sliced chicken to the skillet. Toss gently to combine and heat through for a few minutes.
- Serve the pasta in individual bowls or plates. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
