Ingredients

  • 4 4-ounce trimmed boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup canned, drained, diced pre-roasted tomatoes or pre-roasted tomatoes with garlic
  • 2 ounce goat cheese crumbles
  • 2 tablespoon finely slivered fresh basil leaves, or more to taste (optional)

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Place a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over high heat.

When it's hot, lightly mist the skillet with spray and immediately add the chicken side by side to the pan so it does not touch.

Cook the chicken just until it is golden brown on the outsides, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

Remove the pan from the heat and top each piece of chicken evenly with about 2 tablespoons of the tomatoes, followed by about 1/2 ounce of the cheese.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the chicken until it is no longer pink inside and the cheese is melted, 5 to 9 minutes.

Top evenly with the basil, if desired.

Serve immediately.

Tips:

When cooking the chicken make sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Depending on the pan size, only one or two chicken breasts should be made at a time.
