Healthy Chicken Pomodoro Skillet

Step 1

Add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to a small bowl.  Combine thoroughly. Coat the chicken breasts with the seasoning mix, rubbing it into both sides evenly.

Step 2

Add the olive oil to a large skillet or pan on the stove over medium high heat. Once hot, add in the seasoned chicken breasts.  Sear on one side for about 2 minutes, flip, and sear on the other side for another 2 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Turn the heat to low and add the garlic and onion to the same skillet.  Sauté for 1-2 minutes, being careful to not burn.

Step 4

Next add the halved tomatoes and chicken broth to the skillet.  Combine all the ingredients thoroughly, making sure to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring the tomato mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add in the fresh basil and white sugar. Combine. Place the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet, covering them with the sauce a bit.  Simmer for another 5-8 minutes, until the chicken is completely cooked through.

Step 6

Add extra fresh basil and parmesan cheese on top.

Step 7

Serve and enjoy!
