Tomato Basil Chicken

Tomato Basil Chicken

Recipe adapted from Budget Bites
Yields: 4 servings

Ingredients:
⅓ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil, divided
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
½ cup chicken or vegetable broth
3 tablespoons tomato paste
½ teaspoons sugar

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, minced garlic, ½ tsp dried basil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Use a sharp knife to cut each breast into two, lengthwise
  3. Place the chicken breast pieces in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over top. Marinate for 30 minutes
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, transfer the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5 min each side until golden brown. Remove to a clean plate.
  5. Add the tomato paste, broth, the remaining ½ tsp dried basil, and sugar to the skillet. Use a whisk to combine the ingredients and dissolve any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet.
  6. Let the sauce simmer over medium-low heat until slightly thickened. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over top. Serve and enjoy. Optional, you can add a little cream to your sauce.
