- Toss the diced tomatoes in the residual heat to warm them through, then add them to the pasta.
- Add the balsamic vinegar, parmesan and fresh basil or parsley to the pasta. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the chicken and add it to the pasta. Toss everything together until well combined.
- Serve immediately with extra parmesan and balsamic glaze if you like, or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving.
