While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper, add them to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the pan from the heat and set the chicken aside.

Lower the heat to medium and add halved cherry tomatoes, dry white wine, half of the basil, and grated carrot to the skillet, stirring to combine.

Allow the sauce to simmer for 10 minutes, ensuring the tomatoes have broken down and sauce has slightly thickened.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in mozzarella balls, half of the grated Parmesan cheese, and the cooked spaghetti, mixing thoroughly to coat the pasta.

Divide the pasta into four servings, then top evenly with the cooked chicken.

Garnish each serving with the remaining thinly sliced fresh basil and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese before serving.
