Chicken with Tomatoes and Garlic
I liked this dish because a) it was tasty, b) it didn't require a lot of my attention, and c) I used a little bit out of my pantry and freezer that had been taking up space for a while. The chicken was really tender. To use up more pantry items, I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans, but it really would have been better with pasta and some crusty bread. My inspiration was the Pioneer Woman; I changed it up a little bit, though. She used thighs instead of chicken breast because she too was cleaning out her freezer. Make it work for you!
Chicken with Tomatoes and Garlic
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 (14 oz) can diced or whole tomatoes
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup white wine
Fresh herbs- basil, parsley, rosemary (I only had dried- 1/4 tsp basil)
Preheat oven to 400. Heat Dutch oven over medium-high heat, and add olive oil. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and brown in olive oil for 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pan. Pour in wine, scraping the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 minute. Pour in tomatoes with their juice, stirring to combine. Bring sauce to a boil, and then turn off heat. Add fresh herbs, garlic, and chicken breasts. Put lid on pot and cook in oven for 1 hour. Allow to sit for at least 5 minutes before serving. Serve with pasta, Parmesan cheese, and bread.
