Steps:
- Place the chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a kitchen mallet to flatten the thick end and create an even thickness. Pat dry, sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
- Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Add the pasta, stirring so it doesn't stick, and cook as directed, about 10 to 11 minutes, and drain.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 teaspoon of butter in a large skillet, over medium-low heat. Place the chicken in the skillet, smooth side down, and cook about 9 minutes, until golden underneath. Turn the chicken and spread the tomatoes around the skillet. Continue cooking, turning the tomatoes occasionally, about 6 minutes or until the chicken is done.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the olive oil, the parsley, and crushed red pepper; fold in the goat cheese.
- Divide the pasta between plates. Top each serving with a chicken breast and some of the tomatoes. Drizzle the goat cheese dressing over the chicken and serve.
