Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 medium onion
- 15 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Finely chop the garlic cloves and dice the onion. In the same skillet, add the garlic and onion, cooking for 3-4 minutes or until softened and fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring the sauce to a low simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, cover, and cook in the simmering tomato sauce for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with butter to prevent sticking.
Chop the fresh basil and stir it into the tomato sauce. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top of the chicken and let it melt for 1-2 minutes.
To serve, place a portion of buttered noodles on a plate, top with a chicken breast, and spoon the tomato sauce over the dish. Garnish with additional fresh basil and parmesan cheese if desired.
