1
Prep the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2
Prepare the Tomato Sauce
Chop the tomatoes into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
3
Chop Basil
Rinse the basil leaves under cold water, pat dry, and roughly chop them.

4
Sear the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
5
Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes until they start to break down and release their juices.
6
Combine Chicken and Sauce
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Add the chopped basil and stir to combine. Let simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Serve
If using, sprinkle Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes over the top before serving. Enjoy your Tomato Basil Chicken!
