Ingredients:
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast

– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. Start by cooking the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside, reserving a cup of the pasta water for later use.

5. Combine the chicken, garlic, and onion in the skillet. Add the cherry tomatoes, dried oregano, and dried basil. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
6. Pour in a splash of the reserved pasta water to the skillet to create a light sauce that coats the chicken and vegetables.
7. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce and ingredients.
8. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
9. Serve the Chicken Pasta in a large dish or individual plates, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and extra flavor.
