For Chicken:
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl or plastic zipper bag and place chicken breasts inside - being sure to cover or seal completely. Stir the contents and allow chicken to brine in mixture for 12-24 hours (24 hours is best)
Remove chicken from brine
Heat grill to medium heat and cook on both sides until chicken is completely cooked throughout. (All grill cook times vary. I used a small grill and cooked for 25 minutes, flipping once. This recipe can be adjusted to cook on stove top or in oven)

For Pasta:
Cook pasta according to instructions
(Optional) While pasta is cooking, preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with foil
Slice a garden fresh tomato and place on foil. Spoon a little pesto on each slice and top with a few sprinkles of Parmesan cheese. Cook for 15 minutes (this will sit on top of your pasta. It's optional, but recommended!)
Once pasta has been cooked and drained, immediately add in butter, oil and minced garlic and stir generously for a few seconds
Next, quickly add in eggs and stir (the eggs will cook themselves amongst the hot pasta
Add in garlic salt, bacon, 1/2 cup pesto and Parmesan cheese and stir
Top with baked tomato and serve immediately with Sweet Tea Chicken
