Tgi Friday’s Copycat Bruschetta Chicken Pasta, My FAVORITE dish from TGIFriday’s I found the copycat and it is delicious It is super simple to make and don’t skimp on the garlic because that is what really makes the flavor Also, if tomatoes aren’t in season use the canned tomatoes in italian seasonings, they work just as well Add some garlic bread to the side and you’re done!, This is my favorite dish from TGIFridays and I crave it all the time I was able to cut the cooking/prep time for this recipe significantly by purchasing balsamic glaze (in the vinegar section of grocery store) and one jar of pre-made tomato bruschetta in the spaghetti sauce aisle I also used diced pre-cooked chicken and used minced garlic from a jar While the angel hair was cooking, I diced 3 fresh tomatoes, several fresh basil leaves and the chicken I sauteed the garlic in olive oil, added fresh and jarred tomatoes, fresh basil, diced pre-cooked chicken Let it all simmer Seasoned with salt and pepper Then when noodles were done, tossed the tomato mixture with the pasta Then garnished with shaved parm and balsamic glaze Took me 30 mins start to finish Family LOVED it We all had seconds
