Chicken Breast Pizzaiola Style
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb chicken breast (cut into 4 slices) (250 g)
- Flour (enough to coat the chicken)
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes (300 g)
- 1/2 cup tomato pulp (120 g)
- Half an onion (chopped)
- 1 garlic clove
- Fresh basil (to taste)
- Oregano (to taste)
- Mozzarella (2 slices per chicken breast slice)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the chicken: Dredge the chicken breast slices in flour. Sauté them in a skillet with extra virgin olive oil for about 3 minutes on each side. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Prepare the sauce: In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the garlic and cherry tomatoes (halved), season with salt and pepper, then add the tomato pulp. Let it cook for a few minutes and season with basil and oregano. Remove the garlic.
3. Final cooking: Place the chicken slices back into the skillet with the tomato sauce. Top each slice with 2 slices of mozzarella, then spoon more tomato sauce over the top. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the mozzarella melts.
4. Serve: Serve hot with the tomato sauce.
