Ingredients

  • Chicken breasts: 2 approx. 1 lb or 450 grams
  • Tomatoes: 4 large approx. 2 lbs or 900 grams
  • Fresh chili pepper: 1 about 0.5 oz or 15 grams
  • Garlic cloves: 3 approx. 0.5 oz or 15 grams
  • Olive oil: 2 tbsp 30 ml
  • Fresh basil leaves: 10 approx. 0.2 oz or 5 grams
  • Salt: 1 tsp 5 grams
  • Black pepper: 0.5 tsp 2.5 grams
  • Red pepper flakes: 0.5 tsp optional, 2.5 grams
  • Chicken stock: 1 cup 240 ml

Instructions

  • Start by washing your chicken breasts. Pat them dry and season with salt and black pepper.
  • In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts, cooking them for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they’re golden brown.
  • While the chicken is browning, chop the tomatoes, chili pepper, and garlic finely.
  • Once the chicken is browned, remove them from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add garlic and sauté until it’s aromatic but not browned.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and chili pepper to the pan. Stir in the red pepper flakes if you’re adding them.
  • Let the tomato mixture simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally until it thickens into a rich sauce.
  • Return the chicken breasts to the pan. Add the chicken stock.
  • Cover the pan and let it simmer for another 15 minutes. This ensures the Chicken with Spicy Tomato Sauce is flavorful and tender.
  • Roughly tear the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the top right before serving.

Notes

  • If you’re not a fan of too much heat, adjust the amount of chili or skip the red pepper flakes.
  • Fresh tomatoes work best for this recipe, but in a pinch, canned tomatoes can also be used. If using canned, ensure to drain them before adding.
  • For an added layer of flavor, consider roasting the tomatoes beforehand.
