Instructions

Cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Toss in the sliced red bell pepper and cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Pour in the balsamic vinegar and chicken broth, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly.
Sprinkle in the dried oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well to ensure all the flavors are incorporated.
Add the cooked whole wheat spaghetti into the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the balsamic sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves.
Serve the Healthy Balsamic Chicken Pasta hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
