Chicken in Tomato Sauce
For the chicken:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tbsp butter or coconut oil
For the sauce:
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes, (14.5 oz)
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 cup artichoke hearts, roughly chopped
1 cup green olives, sliced
2 tbsp Italian seasoning
2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
For serving:
1 tbsp butter or coconut oil
3 baby zucchini, spiralized into zoodles
Himalayans sea salt & pepper
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped, (for garnish)
1. Season chicken breasts on both sides with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Prep the onion, garlic, artichoke hearts, green olives and basil as noted.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned.
3. While the chicken is cooking, turn the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer. Set aside.
When the chicken is browned, remove it from the skillet and set aside.
4. If the pan is dry, add more butter to coat. Add in the diced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes to soften.
5. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
6. Add in the coconut milk to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
7. Add in the diced tomatoes, artichoke hearts, olives, Italian seasoning and basil to the pan. Stir to mix.
8. Place chicken back in the skillet and nestle it in with the other ingredients. Increase heat if needed to bring the sauce to a low simmer, then cover and simmer over low heat for 6-8 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
9. When the chicken is almost finished, get the zoodles going. Place one tbsp butter in a separate large pan over medium heat.
10. Once the pan is hot, add the zoodles and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, tossing the zoodles frequently, for 3-4 minutes until the zoodles are warmed through but not mushy.
11. Serve chicken over zoodles and garnish with fresh basil.
