Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 14 ounces Diced tomatoes (canned)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and garlic is fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato paste, and chicken broth. Mix well to combine.
Add the dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to incorporate the spices.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the dish simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired before serving.
Serve the Chicken Italianio warm with crusty bread, over pasta, or alongside a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
