Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes, diced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sauté for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, dried oregano, and dried basil to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and create a sauce.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are nestled into the tomato sauce.
Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the chicken before serving, if desired.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
