Prep time:
20 minutesCooking time:
25 minutes“If fresh tomatoes are high-priced and of poor quality, you can economize by using canned whole tomatoes. For double savings, just drain and use the juice as called for in this recipe.”
Ingredients
Serves 6
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (4 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place flour in a shallow dish. Pound each chicken breast on waxed paper to 1/4-inch thickness. Coat with flour.
2
Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
3
Combine tomatoes, tomato juice, garlic and basil in a medium baking dish. Add chicken to baking dish; spoon tomato mixture over chicken.
4

Chicken breasts will cook more quickly and evenly if you remove the tenderloin strip before pounding.
