Balsamic Chicken with Tomato Basil Pasta

Found the tomato basil pasta recipe online and added the balsamic chicken.

4-6 chicken breasts
Balsamic dressing/marinade (I used Newman's Own brand)
4-5 medium size ripe tomatoes, chopped
5 T. extra virgin olive oil
2 t. lemon juice
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
salt and pepper to taste
1 lb spaghetti or fettuccine pasta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Marinade chicken in balsamic dressing for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) and then bake at 350 for 45 min. or until cooked through. Mix tomatoes with olive oil, lemon juice, basil, and salt and pepper; mix gently. Cook pasta, drain, and toss immediately with tomato mixture. Top with cheese. Serve with chicken. (I like the pasta plain or with the chicken and the extra sauce from the chicken mixed in)
