Tomato Chicken Skillet Recipes

SKILLET CHICKEN IN GARLIC TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Generously season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until juices run clear, turning a nice golden brown. Once cooked, reduce the heat to low and carefully remove chicken from pan and set aside.
• Make sure that you have reduced the heat to low, then add the minced garlic to the same pan with the oil. Cook the garlic for 1 minute, then slowly add the crushed tomatoes to the pan, then add the dried basil and cayenne pepper. Slowly increase the heat to bring the sauce to a simmer. Keep the sauce at a simmer so that it does not splatter. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Whisk in the butter until melted, then whisk in 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese. Carefully return the cooked chicken breasts to the pan and allow them to simmer in the sauce for an additional 3 minutes.
• Serve over cooked pasta and garnish with additional parmesan cheese. As an alternative, you could serve it with some bread for dipping in the sauce and a nice side salad. If you would like to keep it low carb and gluten-free, try serving it over zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash.
