Ingredients
- 600 g Chicken breast
- 200 ml Sour cream
- 400 g Ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 medium Onion
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 8 leaves Fresh basil
- 100 ml (optional) Chicken broth
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: cut the chicken breast into about 2 cm cubes, finely chop the garlic and onion, and cut the tomatoes into pieces.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown it for 5-6 minutes, until golden on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, until they begin to release their juice.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, add the chicken broth (if using), and cook for another 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Lower the heat, add the sour cream, and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes, without boiling, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper, add the fresh basil leaves, and serve hot.
Chef's tip: For a thicker sauce, you can add a tablespoon of flour while cooking the tomatoes. If you prefer a fresher flavor, add a little grated lemon zest before serving.
