Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh basil
Instructions
Begin by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and evenly coat them with the mixture. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet.
Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest.
In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes and sauté them for about 2-3 minutes until they start to blister.
Return the chicken to the skillet with the cherry tomatoes and sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the top.
Serve the sauteed chicken warm, garnished with the blistered cherry tomatoes and basil.
