- While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Stir in halved tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened.
- Add cooked pasta to the skillet. Stir in arugula, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine. Add reserved pasta water if needed to create a light sauce.
- Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
