Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon, minced fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon, minced fresh thyme
• 0.25 cup, finely grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and the butter. Once melted, sauté the diced onion until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, rosemary, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet, lower the heat to medium-low, and let the chicken cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a serving platter. Increase the heat to medium-high and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 5-7 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 9

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread on the side.
