Ingredients:

• 4 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 can(s) 14.5oz. diced tomatoes
• 1 whole small onion, diced
• 2 clove(s) garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup(s) fresh basil, roughly chopped
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1 1/2 tsp. pepper

Instructions:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 375F degrees.
• 2. If the chicken breast are not equal in thickness, pound them down slightly. Sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper.
• 3. In a large oven-safe pan or skillet, heat the olive oil, onion and garlic over medium heat for a few minutes until the onions are translucent.
