Chicken Pomodoro
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- Salt and pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion chopped fine
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes 14.5-ounce can
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh basil
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook chicken until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plate.
- Heat remaining oil in empty skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, oregano, and pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes, cream, and ¼ teaspoon salt and bring to boil. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet. Simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer chicken to platter and tent with foil. Simmer sauce, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Off heat, stir in basil and season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over chicken. Serve.
