Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes, diced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sauté for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the diced tomatoes, dried oregano, and dried basil to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and create a sauce.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are nestled into the tomato sauce.
Step 6
Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Step 8
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the chicken before serving, if desired.
Step 9
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
