Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 12 ounces (340 g) chicken tenderloins
  • Salt and pepper
  • ¼ cup (31 g) flour
  • 2 ½ tablespoon (35 g) salted butter softened
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 pint (473 g) cherry tomatoes
  • ⅓ cup (79 ml) chicken broth
  • Fresh minced basil for topping optional

Instructions

  • Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge the chicken in flour and set aside.
    12 ounces chicken tenderloins, Salt and pepper, 1/4 cup flour
  • In a small bowl, combine butter, garlic, Italian seasoning and paprika.
    2 ½ tablespoon salted butter, 2 cloves garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • In a large skillet, on medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon (14g) of the seasoned butter with some olive oil.
  • Place the chicken in the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side and half-cooked through, about 1-2 minutes per side.
  • Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add in the tomatoes. Cook the tomatoes, stirring occasionally, until the skins are charred and they begin to burst. It takes about 5 minutes.
  • Add the remaining seasoned butter to the pan, stirring to melt.
  • Begin to crush the tomatoes slightly with the back of a spoon or spatula to release their juices.

  • Add in the chicken broth, scraping bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for a minute or two longer until well blended. Add the chicken back into the skillet and bring mixture to a light simmer. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, spooning the sauce on top of the chicken occasionally.
