Garlic Chicken Margherita

image

One of my favorite things about studying abroad in Florence was how all the students cooked for each other for entertainment. I met a girl within my first couple of days and she invited me and few friends over for dinner. She made this super easy dish, which I fell in love with. She originally made it without meat, but I tweaked the recipe and made it my own.

5 cloves of garlic roughly chopped
1/2 pound chicken tenderloins
1 cup chopped fresh basil
6 ounces of spaghetti
1 cup of grape tomatoes sliced in half

Salt to taste

Lightly grease your frying pan with oil. Add garlic and chicken once you get your pan to medium-high heat. Season both sides of your chicken with your salt  and garlic seasoning.

Chop your basil into strips by stacking them together and rolling them up.
