A flavorful and healthy take on the classic Chicken Cacciatore, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add a splash of chicken broth.
Using broth instead of oil keeps the dish low-fat while adding flavor.
Place the chicken breasts in the pan and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
Ensure the chicken is not overcrowded in the pan for even browning.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Keep the chicken covered to retain its warmth.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pan and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the diced tomatoes, capers, oregano, and half of the basil to the pan. Stir to combine.
Crush the tomatoes slightly with the spoon for a thicker sauce.
Return the chicken to the pan, spooning the sauce over the top. Cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it's fully cooked.
Serve the chicken topped with the sauce and garnished with the remaining fresh basil.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
