Easy Basil and Tomato Chicken Breast

Sometimes, thinking of what to prepare for dinner becomes a burden. Trying to come-up with a new and exciting dish often adds to the pressure. If you are experiencing this, you are not alone. Most home cooks (like you and me) run out of dinner ideas. The best remedy for this is to either search for new ideas, or do some experiment – like combining 2 dishes, perhaps.

Basil-and-Tomato-Chicken-Breast

This Easy Basil and Tomato Chicken Breast came about when I was trying to use all the remaining ingredients in the fridge. There were chicken breasts, some bell pepper, a can of diced tomatoes, basil, and some onion. At first, I had no clue on what to do with the ingredients in front of me. So I started to season and pan-fry the chicken before the other parts of the recipe came into perspective.

It ended out simple and nice. There is a taste of freshness in the dish, and it seemed so easy to cook. I ate it with flour tortilla. You can also try having this with pita bread or steamed rice.
