Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut them into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Chop the Garlic

    Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.

  3. 3

    Halve the Tomatoes

    Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.

  4. 4

    Chop the Basil

    Wash the fresh basil leaves and chop them roughly.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Stir occasionally.

  2. 6

    Add Garlic and Tomatoes

    Once the chicken is cooked, add the chopped garlic and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.

  3. 7

    Incorporate Basil

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil, allowing it to wilt slightly in the residual heat.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the chicken mixture hot on plates. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
