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:
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, minced garlic, ½ tsp dried basil, salt, and pepper.
- Use a sharp knife to cut each breast into two, lengthwise
- Place the chicken breast pieces in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over top. Marinate for 30 minutes
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
