Instructions
Making the Healthy Chicken Pomodoro Skillet is an easy process. Just follow these steps:
1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and heat until shimmering.
3. Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add the Tomatoes: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and add the cherry tomatoes. Stir to combine.
6. Season the Sauce: Sprinkle in the dried oregano, basil, and additional salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
7. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
