Instructions

Place chicken breasts on a chopping board in front of you and with a sharp knife, carefully slice each in half resulting in two thin fillets.
Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper and paprika on both sides.
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, fry the onion, garlic and oregano in a splash of olive oil until soft and fragrant.
Pour in the passata/tomatoes and cream.
Season with salt and pepper and allow to simmer gently for 5 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
Add the chicken back to the pan along with any resting juices and allow to simmer for another minute or two.
Top with basil and serve.
