Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around for ingredients while you're cooking.
  • Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your sauce will be. If you can, use fresh tomatoes from your garden or a local farmer's market.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're sautéing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to steam rather than brown.
  • Season the chicken well: Don't be afraid to season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken and make it more flavorful.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure you use a good quality oil that has a fruity, flavorful taste.
  • Simmer the sauce: After you've added the tomatoes and basil to the pan, let the sauce simmer for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a rich, flavorful sauce.
  • Serve over pasta or rice: This summer chicken sauté is a great dish to serve over pasta or rice. It's also delicious served with a side of roasted vegetables or a salad.

Conclusion:

This summer chicken sauté is a quick and easy recipe that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up fresh tomatoes from your garden. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the tomato-basil sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve this dish over pasta or rice, and you'll have a delicious meal that the whole family will enjoy.
