Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 14 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally, until fully cooked and tender.
Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil. Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce is creamy and slightly thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the Chicken Starla over cooked pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
