Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh basil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Step 3
In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and evenly coat them with the mixture. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Step 5
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet.
Step 6
Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest.
Step 7
In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes and sauté them for about 2-3 minutes until they start to blister.
Step 8
Return the chicken to the skillet with the cherry tomatoes and sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the top.
Step 9
Serve the sauteed chicken warm, garnished with the blistered cherry tomatoes and basil.
