Tomato Basil Chicken (In just 30 minutes!)

 I admit being a bit intimidated by this recipe when I found it,  but once I did it and saw just how quick and easy it was...game on! For the life of me I cannot recall where I found this recipe but I do know that it has only been around our home since last growing season when I had an abundance of basil and I was looking for some super recipes to use it up.

Ingredients:
2-4 chicken breasts (depending on thickness)
sea salt and black pepper
3 T olive oil
2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes (I really like using romas but you can use any)
2 tsp minced fresh garlic
4 T cold butter
1/ cup fresh basil chopped into ribbons
fettucini or angel hair pasta
fresh parmesan cheese for garnish

Season the chicken breasts with the salt and pepper and heat the oil in your skillet.  This may seem like a lot of a oil but it is the base for your sauce.  While waiting for the oil to heat get your pasta water ready for the pasta.  When the oil is searing HOT, add the chicken breasts cooking for 6-8 minutes per side until the juices run clean when pierced with a knife.

After the second side has been cooking for 4-5 minutes add in your tomaotes, basil, garlic and cold butter as well as a few more dashes of salt and pepper and stir this all around to marinate the flavors.

When the chicken is done turn your mix down to low to simmer until pasta is done.  Drain pasta and ladel on the sauce and tomato basil mixture...you will not be disappointed!

I saved this recipe. I will have lots of tomatoes later in the season and my basil is doing very well. - Margy
