Ingredients

• 4 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breasts
• 6 cloves (minced) Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1.5 cups (halved) Cherry tomatoes
• 10 leaf/pieces (chopped) Fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon (dried) Oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 cup (shredded) Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them for 4-5 minutes per side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the dry white wine. Scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon and allow the wine to reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the chicken broth, cherry tomatoes, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer.

Step 6

Place the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let the chicken simmer for 20 minutes or until fully cooked (internal temperature should read 165°F/74°C).

Step 7

Remove the lid, stir in the chopped fresh basil, and simmer for another 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken breasts and sauce. Turn off the heat and cover the skillet again for 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

Step 9

Serve the Chicken Garlic Italiano warm, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired. Pair it with crusty bread, pasta, or a green salad for a complete meal.
