Garlic Chicken + Fresh Tomato Skillet
A light, flavorful, and healthy chicken breast dish that's perfect for warm weather and busy days.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless, chicken breast
- 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced or pressed
- 1 lb. fresh grape and cherry tomatoes, preferably a mix of colors and shapes, halved or quartered
- 2 Tbsps high quality balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil, or high-quality olive oil
- sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to your taste
- a small bunch of fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Place each chicken breast between 2 pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap and lightly pound with a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- Season your chicken with sea salt and freshly ground pepper lightly on both sides.
- Heat your oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side, or just until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Set your cooked chicken aside on a plate.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add in your fresh tomatoes and balsamic vinegar then sauté, stirring, until the tomatoes begin to soften and split, about 3 minutes. Stir in the fresh basil and season with sea salt and pepper.
- Return chicken to the skillet and spoon warm tomatoes on top.
- I served this on top of a large salad. Alongside quinoa, brown rice, cauliflower rice, or zucchini noodles would be great options too!
