Ingredients: 

• 2 skinless chicken breast halves, diced in 1 inch cubes (I used 4! My husband & I really love this dish)
• cooking spray
• 1/2 tsp each of dried oregano and dries basil
• kosher salt and fresh pepper
• 8 oz spaghetti (high fiber or low carb) I used Ronzoni whole wheat
• 2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
• 6 cloves garlic, smashed and coarsely chopped ( I used a whole head of garlic. I love garlic!)
• 4 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 4 tbsp chopped fresh basil

Directions: 

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.

Season chicken generously with salt, pepper, oregano and basil. Heat a large skillet on high heat. When hot, spray with oil and add chicken. Cook about 3-4 minutes, until no longer pink. Remove chicken and set aside.

Add pasta and cook according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.

While pasta cooks, add olive oil to skillet on high heat. Add garlic and sauté until golden brown (do not burn). Add tomatoes, salt and pepper and reduce heat to medium-low.Sauté about 4-5 minutes. When pasta is drained, add pasta to tomatoes and toss well. If pasta seems too dry, add some of the reserved pasta water. Add fresh basil and chicken and toss well. Serve and top with good grated cheese.
