This savory chicken skillet recipe combines tender chicken breasts with a flavorful tomato and herb sauce, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
Combine the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl to season.
Let the chicken rest with the seasoning for a few minutes to enhance flavor.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the chicken to prevent sticking.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Keep the chicken covered to retain warmth.
In the same skillet, add the garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the diced tomatoes, basil, and oregano to the skillet and stir to combine.
Simmer the sauce to allow the flavors to meld together.
Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer until fully cooked, about 10 minutes.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve the chicken topped with the tomato sauce and garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
Pair with your favorite side dish for a complete meal.
