Pomodoro Sauce Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup onion, minced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups Red Royals® Sweet Cherry Tomatoes On-The-Vine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, minced
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet to medium high heat and add 1 tbsp oil. Season the chicken with sea salt, pepper, and garlic powder and add to the hot pan. Sear on both sides for 3 minutes, then remove and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil, onion, and garlic to the large skillet and saute for 2-3 minutes.
- Next, add the grape tomatoes, broth, basil, oregano, maple syrup, sea salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, then add the semi-cooked chicken back in. Cover with a lid and simmer for 15-18 more minutes (flipping the chicken halfway through), or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees f.
- Top with fresh parmesan, and extra basil, and serve with pasta, and/or steamed broccoli.
