A delightful chicken dish with a rich tomato basil sauce, perfect for a family dinner.
Blend the ripe tomatoes with dried basil, tarragon, salt, and freshly ground pepper until smooth.
Use a high-speed blender for a smoother sauce consistency.
Melt the unsalted butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown to maintain its flavor.
Sauté the fresh garlic in the melted butter for about a minute until fragrant.
Stir continuously to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the pan and cook until golden on both sides.
Cook the chicken in batches if your pan is small to avoid overcrowding.
Pour the tomato basil sauce over the chicken, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Cover the pan with a lid to retain moisture and enhance flavor.
Transfer the chicken to an oven-proof dish, spoon the sauce over, and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Ensure the cheese is evenly distributed for a uniform melt.
Broil the dish in a preheated broiler for about a minute until the cheese melts.
Keep a close eye on the dish to prevent the cheese from burning.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Chop the parsley finely for a more elegant presentation.
