Chicken Pomodoro is a staple in my kitchen when I want something that tastes fancy but comes together quickly. The combination of lightly breaded chicken and a fresh, herb forward sauce is always a hit with the family.

My biggest tip for this recipe is to use the best quality canned tomatoes you can find. Since the sauce relies on just a few simple ingredients, a good base makes a huge difference in the final flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, pounded thin
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge each piece in the flour until lightly coated.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

  5. 5

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Return the chicken to the pan, sprinkle with Parmesan and fresh basil, and cook for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through.

💡 Tips

This dish is wonderful served over a bed of angel hair pasta or zucchini noodles. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheat gently on the stove.
