Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound boneless chicken breasts (or thighs)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 cup canned diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup cooked pasta (optional)
Instructions:
Prep the ingredients: Start by chopping the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Set them aside.
Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano. Cook the chicken on both sides for 6-7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside to rest.
Sauté vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté them for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the liquids: Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Make it creamy: Reduce the heat and add the heavy cream to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Let it simmer for another 3 minutes, thickening the sauce.
Finish the dish: Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips and add it back to the skillet with the sauce. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Let everything cook together for an additional 3 minutes.
Serve: Optionally, toss in the cooked pasta to make this a complete meal. Serve hot and enjoy!
