Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium.
Add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, and stir in the tomato paste, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Cover the skillet and simmer for an additional 10 minutes, ensuring the chicken is fully cooked and has absorbed some of the sauce flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the dairy-free chicken with tomato sauce hot, accompanied by rice, pasta, or crusty bread to complete the meal.
