Prepping the Ingredients

Begin by preparing all your ingredients: Cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions and set aside. Cook and dice the chicken. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the radishes, and roughly chop the greens. Mince the garlic and grate the parmesan cheese.

Cooking the Dish

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the cooked chicken, and sauté until it's golden brown. Add the halved tomatoes and sliced radishes, cooking until they're just starting to soften. Lower the heat, incorporate the cooked pasta and greens, and toss everything together until the greens have wilted and the pasta is coated in the garlic-infused olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Lastly, sprinkle the grated parmesan and nuts over the top before serving.

Serving

Divide the pasta among plates, ensuring a good mix of chicken, vegetables, and pasta in each serving. Offer additional parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil at the table for those who prefer an extra touch. Enjoy while hot.
