Ingredients
For the chicken
- 2 lbs chicken breast cutlets (or thinly sliced chicken breasts)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
For the sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion minced
- 4 cloves garlic pressed
- 16 oz grape tomatoes halved
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil plus more for garnish
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the skillet and oil over medium high heat. Once hot, season the chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder, and cook about 2 minutes on each side to brown. Remove from skillet and set aside. (Chicken will finish cooking later.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the remaining oil in the skillet and add the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes stirring to scrape the chicken bits from the bottom, and cook until they start to become clear and caramelized.
- Add the tomatoes, broth, basil and oregano to the skillet and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Stir in the sugar, salt and pepper, and then nestle the chicken in the sauce, cover and simmer about 5-8 more minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (165˚F internal temp.)
