I'm always looking for variations on noodles and sauce. Generally it's an easy dinner to make on a weeknight after getting home from work / picking up Carter at daycare. This is definitely not another red sauce and it's not a heavy white sauce. The balsamic gives it a great flavor.
I actually cut up the chicken breast into bite size pieces and next time I'm using low fat cream cheese. Oh, and add the cherry tomatoes right before serving, otherwise they totally disintegrate.
