Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breast skinless, boneless
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper divided
  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 2 tbsp butter unsalted
  • 6 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 2 cups tomatoes halved grape
  • 3 tbsp parsley leaves fresh, flat leaf

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts on a cutting board; pound to a 1/2-inch-thickness using a meat mallet or small, heavy skillet (all four breasts should fit in one large skillet). Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chicken to pan; cook 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until done. Remove from pan; keep warm. Do not wipe pan clean.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, butter, and garlic to drippings in pan; cook 2 minutes or until butter just begins to brown, stirring frequently. Stir in tomatoes; cook 2 minutes or until tomatoes are wilted. Spoon tomato mixture over chicken; sprinkle with parsley.
