Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large skillet or deep pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the pan.
- Sear the chicken breasts for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. (They don’t need to be fully cooked through at this point as they will continue cooking in the sauce.)
- Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
- In the same pan, add the mixed frozen vegetables.
- Stir occasionally, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Pour in the 1/4 cup of water and 2 cups of chicken broth.
- Scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze it and incorporate any browned bits into the sauce.
- Add the 3 cups of canned tomatoes, stirring to combine everything well.
- Return the chicken breasts to the pan, nestling them into the sauce and vegetables.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
- Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- Once the chicken is cooked through and tender, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the tender tomato chicken breasts hot, spooning the vegetable-rich tomato sauce over each breast.
Tips:
- For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in olive oil, black pepper, and onion powder for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Be sure to sear the chicken breasts thoroughly to enhance their texture and flavor.
- Feel free to experiment with the mixed vegetables; peas, bell peppers, and carrots are great options.
- Season to taste with additional herbs such as basil or oregano for a more complex flavor profile.
- If the sauce is too thin, let it simmer for a few extra minutes to thicken.
Tender tomato chicken breasts make for an easy and nutritious meal that's perfect for any night of the week. By following these steps and tips, you can create a flavorful dish that's sure to be a favorite. Serve it with rice, quinoa, or a side salad to make a complete and balanced meal.
