Italian Herb Chicken with Tomato Basil Sauce

This Italian Herb Chicken with Tomato Basil Sauce is a flavorful and satisfying dinner option that combines tender chicken breasts with a rich tomato basil sauce, all infused with aromatic Italian herbs.

Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)

Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir for about a minute to release the herbs' flavors.

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add half of the chopped fresh basil. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for another few minutes to heat through.

Garnish with the remaining fresh basil and, if desired, grated Parmesan cheese.
