Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, about 6 ounces each
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus extra as needed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra as needed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small shallot, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 medium seeded and chopped fresh tomatoes or 2 cups store-bought fresh salsa
1 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 tablespoon shredded fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Sprinkle a small amount of water on a large sheet of plastic wrap. Place 2 of the breast halves on top of the plastic and sprinkle again with water. Cover with another sheet of plastic wrap and pound with a rolling pin or meat pounder until about 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with the remaining 2 breast halves.
  • Mix the flour with the salt and pepper in a shallow pie plate. Heat half the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Working in 2 batches, place the chicken in the flour mixture and turn to coat on all sides. Shake off the excess flour and add to the skillet. Cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate or platter and cover loosely with foil. Repeat with the remaining butter and chicken.
  • Add the shallot and garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes or salsa, stir in the stock, and simmer for 8 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer, turning often, until the chicken is warmed through and the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Transfer the chicken to warm serving plates. Stir in the basil and season the sauce with salt and pepper. Spoon over the chicken and serve at once.

This dish was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a creamier sauce.
