Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

For the Pomodoro Sauce:

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 pound cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • ½ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:

  1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Cook the Chicken:

  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté Onions and Garlic:

  1. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Prepare the Sauce:

  1. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, chicken broth, white wine, and chopped basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir and bring to a simmer.

Combine Chicken and Sauce:

  1. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve:

  1. Slice the chicken breasts and serve them topped with the pomodoro sauce. Garnish with additional fresh basil, if desired.

Notes

  • Pasta Addition: Serve the chicken and sauce over cooked pasta for a more filling meal.
  • Vegetable Boost: Add diced zucchini or bell peppers to the sauce for extra nutrition.
  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for some heat.
