Ingredients:
- 1 lb of chicken breasts or thighs (your choice!)
- 1 cup of grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend of both)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can of diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by seasoning your chicken breasts or thighs with salt, pepper, and paprika. If you prefer extra flavor, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan. Sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is soft and fragrant. Add the canned diced tomatoes (with juices) and bring to a simmer. Stir in the dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
- Add the Cream: Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option). Let the sauce cook for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens up slightly.
- Combine and Melt the Cheese: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the chicken, covering it generously. Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the cheese is melted, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve this dish with your favorite side—whether it’s rice, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.
