Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 14 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.25 cup basil leaves, chopped
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano on both sides.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Mix until combined and bring the sauce to a simmer.

Step 5

Add the chopped basil, grated Parmesan cheese, and additional salt and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to cook for another 4-5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top of each chicken breast.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to scoop up the sauce.
