CHICKEN BREASTS WITH TOMATO-BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour and shake off any excess.
• Combine the oil and 1 T. of the butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, place the chicken in the pan and cook, turning once, for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
• Add the shallot and garlic to the hot pan; saute for 1 minute, then add the vinegar to deglaze the pan, using a wooden spoon to scrape up all the browned bits on the bottom. Add the chicken broth and tomatoes and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until reduced by half. Remove the pan from the heat. Stirring constantly, add the basil, remaining 2 T. butter and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until the butter is incorporated into the sauce.
• Place a chicken breast on each plate and pour the sauce over. Serve at once.

ONE-PAN CHICKEN AND GNOCCHI IN TOMATO-BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the dried Italian seasoning and a good pinch of salt. Arrange the chicken in the pan, cover and sear for 5 minutes. Flip, cover and sear the chicken another 5 minutes. (It won't be cooked all the way through, but that's okay! We'll finish in a bit.) Remove the chicken from the pan.
• Add a splash of water to the pan to deglaze, if needed, and use a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits. Add the zucchini to the pan in a single layer. Season with a pinch of salt and sear for 2 minutes. Flip and sear until nicely charred on both sides, another minute or two. Add the chicken (and its juices) back to the pan, and bring the heat down to medium-low. Add the tomato sauce, along with about 1/3 cup water swirled in the jar, along with the gnocchi. Using tongs, nestle the gnocchi down in the sauce, so that it's all covered. Cover with a lid and bring the heat up to medium. Simmer until the gnocchi is tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Divide the dish among dinner bowls, and use forks to shred the chicken a little, if you want. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan and fresh basil leaves.
• Serve immediately!

CHICKEN WITH BASIL AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Wipe the chicken pieces dry with paper towels, sprinkle with salt and pepper and brown the pieces a few at a time in the safflower oil in a large skillet. Set the pieces aside and pour off the fat from the skillet.
• Heat the olive oil in the skillet and gently soften the onion with the garlic and carrots over medium heat. Stir in the tomato paste, tomatoes, vinegar, wine and thyme leaves. Add the chicken pieces, cover and simmer over medium heat for 30 to 40 minutes, or until they are cooked. Stir occasionally, turning the pieces over in the sauce.
• Remove the chicken to a serving dish and keep it warm in a low oven. Bring the sauce to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes to reduce by about one-third. Stir in the creme fraiche and bring to a boil. Cook for five minutes. Correct seasoning and pour the sauce over the chicken pieces. Sprinkle with basil and serve at once.
