Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 piece yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, dried basil, and dried oregano to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer gently for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese, allowing the parmesan to melt into the sauce.

Step 8

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, submerging them in the sauce. Cover and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Pair the dish with your choice of pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
