Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium white onion, finely chopped
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and chopped onion. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant and the onion is soft.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.

Step 7

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, and chicken broth. Mix well to combine.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chicken cook in the tomato-mushroom sauce for 20 minutes over low heat. Flip the chicken halfway through for even cooking.

Step 10

Once the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C), remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 11

Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve the chicken with tomatoes and mushrooms over rice, pasta, or with a side of crusty bread.
