Instructions
Creating Simple Chicken Breast with Onions and Tomatoes can be done with just a few simple steps. Follow this guide for a perfect dish every time:
1. Prep the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Allow them to sit for about 5–10 minutes to absorb flavors.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the pan.
3. Cook the Chicken: Sear the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
4. Sauté the Onions: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they become soft and translucent.
5. Add Tomatoes and Garlic: Stir in the diced tomatoes and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down, forming a sauce.
6. Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the onions and tomatoes. Allow everything to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
