Creamy Tomato Chicken

Ingredients

• 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)

Instructions

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   Add the butter and olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes/side or until golden and cooked through (165F). Transfer the chicken to a plate.

4. 4

   Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and tomato paste to the skillet and cook for about 20-30 seconds.

5. 5

   Whisk in the cream and Italian seasoning until smooth.

6. 6

   Stir in the chopped tomato. Let the sauce cook for another 3-5 minutes.

7. 7

   Add the chicken back to the skillet and spoon some sauce over top. Season with extra salt & pepper if needed, and serve immediately.
