Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 2 chicken breasts, season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, then remove and keep warm.
  2. Step 2: Lower heat to medium, add 1 tbsp olive oil to the same skillet. Add 1 diced yellow onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 14 oz canned diced tomatoes with juices, stir well and simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld.
  5. Step 5: Return chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon tomato and onion ragout over them. Cook together for 2 minutes to rewarm chicken.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving for a fresh finish.
