# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 200°C. Toss halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking tray in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes while you proceed with other steps.
02 -
Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thin cutlets. Season both sides with salt, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add chicken and sear for 5 minutes per side or until thoroughly cooked. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and slice thinly.
03 -
In the same skillet, add lemon slices, minced garlic, and butter. Sauté over low-medium heat for 2 minutes until garlic softens and the lemon releases its juice. Remove skillet from heat.
04 -
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly.
05 -
Add drained spaghetti to the skillet with lemon, garlic, and butter. Toss to coat evenly and absorb flavors. Discard lemon slices.
06 -
Top the pasta with sliced chicken and roasted tomatoes, gently incorporating into the spaghetti.
07 -
Divide pasta among serving plates. Tear Burrata and distribute evenly on top. Garnish with chopped fresh basil and toasted pine nuts before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Toasting pine nuts releases their natural oils and enhances the overall aroma of the final dish.
02 -
Meyer lemon adds subtle sweetness—standard lemon works if unavailable.
