Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

• 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (4–5 small breasts)

• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic

• 1 small yellow onion, finely diced

• 24 ounces grape tomatoes, halved

• 1 cup chicken broth

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

• 1 teaspoon white sugar

• Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning mix evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts. Sear for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. Reduce heat to low. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic and diced onion for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn.

4. Add halved grape tomatoes and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook for 5 minutes.

5. Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato mixture. Cover and simmer for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

6. Stir in chopped fresh basil and white sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.

7. Serve the chicken topped with the tomato sauce and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
