Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the canned stewed tomatoes with their juices, chicken broth, dried oregano, dried basil, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the pan, nestling them into the tomato mixture. Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for 25-30 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 the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper as necessary.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top before serving.
Serve the chicken and stewed tomato sauce over cooked rice, pasta, or alongside crusty bread for a complete meal.
