Ingredients
- 4 Chicken Breasts, skin on *see notes (halved and pounded to an even thickness, about 1/3-inch)
- 1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning Mix
- 2 Tbsp butter or ghee divided (or use olive oil)
- 1 Medium onion Diced
- 4-6 garlic cloves pressed
- 1 ½ Cup half and half
- 1 ½ Cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
- 1 Tbsp Gluten-free flour or Cornstarch
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish, and rub them with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
- Melt 1 Tbsp butter or add oil in a large non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add in the chicken.
- Sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. The chicken doesn't have to be all cooked through, as we will continue to simmer it in the sauce. Set aside on a plate.
- Add remaining butter/ghee to the preheated pan, together with onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
- Next, pour in the half and half, and bring it to a simmer. Stir well to deglaze the pan. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk flour or cornstarch with a couple a Tbsp of water, until well combined. Add it to the sauce in the pan, and stir to combine.
- At this point, it will begin to thicken. Return chicken to the pan, with all the juices, then gently add in the cherry tomatoes.
- Continue to simmer until chicken is cooked through and cherry tomatoes are burst
- Garnish with fresh chopped basil and serve immediately. Enjoy!
