Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and rinse in cold water. Transfer the pasta to a large salad bowl.

While pasta is cooking, pat the chicken breasts dry and season them with the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
3
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts until browned and fully cooked, approximately 6 minutes each side. Remove from the pan, allow to rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
4
In the same pan, add the remaining quarter cup of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic and finely chopped red onion until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
5
Turn off the heat, and stir in the finely chopped Roma tomatoes to meld the flavours.
6
Pour the tomato mixture over the cold pasta. Add the balsamic vinegar, grated parmesan cheese, and finely chopped fresh basil. Stir the salad well to combine all ingredients.
7
Adjust the season with remaining salt and black pepper. Add the thinly sliced grilled chicken, folding it into the salad to ensure everything is well mixed.
8
Before serving, sprinkle the salad with extra parmesan cheese and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
