A flavorful and easy Chicken Pomodoro Skillet recipe featuring tender chicken breasts cooked with fresh tomatoes and basil.
Equipment
- Large Skillet For cooking the chicken and sauce.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (4-5 small chicken breasts)
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh minced garlic
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 24 oz grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
- 1 tsp white sugar
- Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning mix evenly onto both sides of the chicken breasts for maximum flavor.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear each side for about 2 minutes until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the minced garlic and finely diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Add the halved grape tomatoes and chicken broth to the skillet. Be sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to enhance the flavor. Bring this mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped fresh basil and white sugar. Return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring it is covered with the sauce. Simmer for an additional 5-8 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once done, sprinkle extra fresh basil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving. This adds a lovely touch of flavor and presentation!
- Serve and enjoy your delicious Chicken Pomodoro Skillet!
Notes
