Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Push the onion and garlic to one side of the skillet and add the chicken breasts. Cook the chicken for 5 minutes on each side, or until browned.
  3. Pour in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth, and sprinkle in the dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded together.
  5. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and sauce. Cover the skillet again and let it sit for a minute or two, until the cheese has melted.
  6. Transfer the chicken and sauce to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for added freshness and aroma.
  7. Serve hot with your choice of pasta or rice, and enjoy!
