Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, paprika, oregano, and basil.
Place the chicken breasts into the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato mixture. Cover and cook for 12-15 minutes on medium-low heat, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top and optionally garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, a light salad, or whole-grain pasta for a complete meal.
