Skillet Chicken in Garlic Tomato Sauce image

Skillet Chicken in Garlic Tomato Sauce is delicious and so easy to make. This recipe uses kitchen staples to make a wonderful family dinner!

Provided by Christi

Categories     Main Dishes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs. fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts (or 4 good sized chicken breasts)
28 ounces peeled crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons dried basil
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup unsalted butter
salt and pepper (to taste)
pinch Cayenne Pepper
2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese (plus more for garnish.)

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.

Chicken Breasts With Tomatoes and Capers image

This recipe was originally developed by Pierre Franey in 1991 for the 60-Minute Gourmet column, a weekly feature dedicated to Times-worthy dishes that were easy, quick and inexpensive.

Then add shallots and garlic, tarragon, tomatoes, vinegar, capers, white wine and tomato paste. Stir well and cook for about 9 minutes more. That's it.

CHICKEN WITH GARLIC - TOMATO SAUCE



Chicken With Garlic - Tomato Sauce image

This is from "Light And Tasty" magazine August/Sept 2005. I made this from the recipe in the magazine and it was very good. I used regular tomatoes and did not seed them. I did not have any Italian tomatoe sauce so I used regular and added basel thyme and organo. It looks like too many carrots, but it is better with a lot of them. Depending on how much liquid is in the final mix you might want to not cover the pan in the final step and reduce it some.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of tomatoes:Roma tomatoes are a good choice for this recipe because they are low in moisture and have a concentrated flavor. However, you can also use other types of tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes. If you are using larger tomatoes, be sure to dice them into small pieces.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan:When searing the chicken, be sure to allow enough space between the pieces of chicken so that they can brown evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Use a good quality olive oil:Olive oil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • Simmer the sauce:After adding the tomatoes and garlic to the pan, be sure to simmer the sauce for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides:This recipe is delicious served with pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This chicken with garlic tomato sauce is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this recipe at home.
