Garlic Basil Chicken ==================== Ingredients ----------- * 1lb Boneless chicken breasts * 1/4 cup oil * 5-6 Roma tomatoes (or 3 greenhouse, if you don't have romas) * 6 Cloves of garlic * 2 Handfuls of basil, cut into ribbons * 2 Zucchinis, sliced * 1/4 cup Butter Instructions ------------ #. Prep tomatoes, basil and garlic and set aside. #. Heat the oil in a heavy pan over medium heat. Once hot, add chicken and pan fry until done (6-10 minutes). Leave covered for the first 4 minutes, then allow excess water to simmer off. #. Once the chicken is done, set it aside. Do not drain the pan. #. IN THE SAME PAN, with the same oil and everything, add tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook until they've broken down to a saucelike mixture. #. Add garlic to the sauce and continue to simmer. #. In a second pan, melt half the butter and add zucchini. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium heat, turning frequently, for 4 minutes. #. Add basil and chicken to sauce mixture. Simmer for 2 minutes. #. Place zucchini on plate, serve chicken and sauce on top. Serves: 2 Notes ----- * It's recommended to pound the chicken to an even thickness to allow it to cook completely evenly--I've found this isn't wholly necessary. * Ease off on the lemon pepper maybe?
