Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter room temperature
  • 1-2 small garlic cloves minced
  • 1½ tsp fresh basil chopped
  • 1½ tsp parsley chopped

  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the butter with the basil, parsley, oregano, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
  2. Trim any fat from your chicken breasts. Cut them in half then place them between two pieces of plastic wrap.
  3. Pound the chicken breast with a mallet until they are ½-inch thick. Season each side of the chicken with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add a bit of the butter and the chicken breasts (you may have to cook the chicken in batches - don't overcrowd the pan).
  5. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown, then flip over and cook for 2-3 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from the pan and place on a platter covered with a foil tent.
  6. Add the tomatoes to the pan and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Cook, stirring often until the tomatoes start to burst, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Add the remaining herb butter to the pan along with the chicken broth. Cook, stirring constantly for a few minutes while you crush some tomatoes slightly to release the juices. Taste the sauce and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, if needed.
  8. Place the chicken back into the pan to reheat for a minute before placing them on serving plates.
  9. Spoon sauce evenly over the top of each piece of chicken. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
