Grilled Chicken Breast with Tomato and Basil


Ingredients:

· 4 chicken breasts or 8 chicken thigh fillets.

· 1 Spanish (brown) onion, finely chopped.

· 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped.

· 2 stems of fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

· 3-5 fresh tomatoes cubed can be replaced by cherry tomatoes or 1 can Italian tomatoes (no added sugar)

Method:

Gently brown the chicken for 5 to 10 minutes in a frying pan with a little oil. Season with salt and black pepper. Do not cook all the way through. Remove from the frying pan and put to one side.

In the same pan, sauté the onion and garlic gently, until golden brown. Add the basil leaves and canned tomatoes and put the chicken back into the frying pan. Simmer until the chicken is cooked, about 10- 15 minutes.

Cut through a piece of chicken to check if it is done.

You can sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top to serve.
