Super quick weekday pasta dish. (I’m a sucker for those.) The goat cheese and balsamic dressing give it some extra spunk!
Cook linguine according to package directions; drain. Saute bell pepper in a small skillet over medium heat until limp, about 10 to 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl; slowly whisk in oil. Stir in 1/2 cup of basil.
Place pasta, chicken, cooked peppers, mozzarella, goat cheese, and remaining basil in a large bowl. Pour dressing over top and toss to coat.
Serves 4.
Note: when I make this, I put a couple of uncooked chicken breasts, sprinkled with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, under the broiler while everything else is being prepared.

This is one of my favorite dishes – great flavors. I skipped the red bell pepper.

Our goat cheese (even the stuff I could pick up at our small-town WalMart) was smooth and tangy in this dish! Try again, but with better cheese! The dish was lovely!

Made this tonight, it was fabulous! Thank you! I wonder if mixedlovers did not get a good brand of goat cheese? Ours was great and not gritty at all

Gritty?? How funny. I never thought goat cheese could be gritty. I’m glad you liked it, though!

It was a great choice. I really liked it. My husband LOVED it. I gave this dish five stars. The only draw back for me was the goat cheese. It was REALLY strong and made the dish gritty. The dish, however, wouldn’t be the same without it. So, next time, there will be a little less of the goat. But, for some other soul, the strong, gritty taste just might make their eyes cross and their tongue spark with delight.
