Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (canned, with juice)
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are softened and browned.

Step 5

Pour in the can of diced tomatoes (with their juice) and the chicken broth. Stir in the dried oregano and basil. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato and mushroom mixture. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer over low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes such as rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
