- 2 chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Flour for dredging
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 medium tomato chopped
Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise (so you have 4 thinner pieces). Sprinkle them with the garlic powder and salt & pepper, and coat them in flour.
Add the butter and olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes.
Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes/side or until golden and cooked through (165F). Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and tomato paste to the skillet and cook for about 20-30 seconds.
Whisk in the cream and Italian seasoning until smooth.
Stir in the chopped tomato. Let the sauce cook for another 3-5 minutes.
Add the chicken back to the skillet and spoon some sauce over top. Season with extra salt & pepper if needed, and serve immediately.
- I don't recommend substituting the cream with something that has a lower fat content as it's likely to curdle due to the acid in the tomatoes.
- If needed, you may leave the fresh tomato out.
- This dish is delicious with a bit of fresh basil added in just prior to serving.
