Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until browned on both sides, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

2

Make the Sauce

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the canned crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, and dried basil. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

3

Combine Chicken and Sauce

Return the browned chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cover and simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

4

Serve

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. This dish pairs well with pasta or crusty bread.
