Healthy Tomato Basil Chicken

5

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Yield: serves 4

Serving Size: 1 chicken breast

Recipe slightly adapted from Menu Musings

Ingredients

• 4 - 4 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Sea salt and fresh ground pepper
• 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
• 2 cups fresh, organic, baby tomatoes, cut in half
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 2 Tbsp grass-fed butter
• 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
• Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)
• Gluten-free spaghetti, cooked and drained (optional)

Instructions

1. Season chicken breasts with sea salt and fresh ground pepper.
2. Add olive oil to a skillet and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts. Sprinkle the tops of the chicken breasts with half of the Italian seasoning. After 5-6 minutes, flip breasts and sprinkle with remaining seasoning. Cook chicken for another 5-6 minutes, until juices run clear.
3. Add tomatoes, garlic, butter, and basil to chicken. Stir together. When the chicken is fully cooked, turn the sauce down to the lowest setting and let simmer for 2-3 minutes (or until pasta is done if you are serving this with pasta.)
4. Serve chicken with tomato basil sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
