Rehydrate the tomatoes according to package directions. This is usually 20 minutes in hot water. Drain well.
In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, add the tomatoes and the remaining ingredients except for the chicken and pasta. Process until the mixture is chunky, not smooth. Place in a pot and bring to a simmer for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and taste for seasoning.
Pound the chicken breasts with a flat side of a mallet and grill until done. Remove to cutting board. Meanwhile cook the pasta until al dente. Drain well. Add 1/4 cup pasta water to tomato sauce; bring to a boil, pour over the pasta and toss. Divide between plates. Slice the chicken breasts diagonally and fan out on the pasta. Garnish with fresh basil.
