Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 14 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the sauce to a simmer and return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally, until fully cooked and tender.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil. Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce is creamy and slightly thickened.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve the Chicken Starla over cooked pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
