Make it a Viva Italia Night with Bruschetta Chicken Pasta! Hunt’s, Progressive and Kraft ingredients come together to make an affordable & delicious home-cooked Italian dinner that will bring the whole family together in the kitchen.

Bruschetta Chicken Pasta is a healthy, quick and easy recipe that the whole family will love! It is quick enough for any crazy weekend night but also tasty enough that you would be proud to serve it with guests! Pair it with a simple green salad and warm, crusty, whole grain baguette and you have yourself a meal worthy enough for any special occasion.

Just about everyone that I know likes (or pretty much everyone LOVES Italian food)! It’s a real crowd pleaser and therefore the perfect choice for a serving at a dinner party! The issue is usually Italian food tends to be not so healthy…full of fat and calories. With simple swaps such as using whole grain pasta, lean boneless skinless chicken breasts and other high quality ingredients, I was able to make my Bruschetta Chicken Pasta healthier without sacrificing the taste!

What I love about the Publix Viva Italia event is that it features high quality products which helped me to make this Italian dish more healthier and flavorful!

At Hunt’s, they are all about tomatoes. That’s why they can each tomato for their diced, stewed, and whole varieties within hours of picking it from the field, and FlashSteam with only water—not lye.  That’s very important…the less chemicals that we can introduce into our diets, the better…in my humble opinion.

Progresso™ Brand Products  keep finding new ways to deliver quality meals that match the unique needs of individuals and families by delivering premium ingredients for everyday cooking including broths, beans and bread crumbs. I just love the added flavor that the Tuscan Chicken Broth gave to my Bruschetta Chicken Pasta. And Kraft Parmesan Cheese is always a delicious favorite!

My inspiration for my Bruschetta Chicken Pasta was this recipe for Hunt’s® Bruschetta Chicken Skillet. After checking our their skillet recipe, I knew that I wanted to take it to a healthy pasta recipe that incorporated some of the other product featured by Publix’s Viva Italia promotion.
