Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 medium onion
• 15 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
• 8 ounces egg noodles
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 3

Finely chop the garlic cloves and dice the onion. In the same skillet, add the garlic and onion, cooking for 3-4 minutes or until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring the sauce to a low simmer.

Step 5

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, cover, and cook in the simmering tomato sauce for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

Step 6

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with butter to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Chop the fresh basil and stir it into the tomato sauce. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top of the chicken and let it melt for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

To serve, place a portion of buttered noodles on a plate, top with a chicken breast, and spoon the tomato sauce over the dish. Garnish with additional fresh basil and parmesan cheese if desired.
