Chicken and Sauce
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 5 diced Roma tomatoes
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 1 cup loosely packed basil leaves roughly chopped

Cooking Instructions
To a medium skillet, add 4 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon minced garlic and heat gently to infuse the olive oil with garlic flavor.
Season 1 pound chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides and slide them into the pan. Sear on both sides over medium-high heat and cook for about 10 minutes in the pan or until the chicken breast is cooked through.
Take the chicken breasts out of the pan and place them on a plate.
Add 5 diced Roma tomatoes and ¼ cup chicken broth to the pan, along with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for 8-10 minutes until the tomatoes have broken down completely and a thick sauce has formed.
Add 1 cup loosely packed basil leaves and ¼ cup heavy cream and mix well. Add the chicken breasts back to the pan, and simmer for two minutes. Serve immediately.
