Ingredients

Instructions

1. Sprinkle each piece of chicken generously with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Prep the tomatoes, garlic, and basil and set aside.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet until a drop of water sizzles across the top.
3. Add the chicken and pan-fry for several minutes on each side – the goal here is to get the chicken cooked and get a nice browning on the outside. When the chicken is done, set aside.
4. Add the tomatoes, and return to heat.
5. Simmer to cook the tomatoes down into a chunky-sauce-like-mixture.
6. Add the garlic and butter and stir to combine until the butter is melted.
7. Add the chicken back in to soak in the sauce for a few minutes.
8. Just before serving, stir in the basil, then serve with pasta.
