Ingredients

  • 5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 wedge parmesan cheese
  • Italian Seasoning
  • 8 cloves garlic
  • 1 28 oz can diced Tomatoes with Garlic Basil and Oregano
  • dash of crushed red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat

Instructions

  • Slice about 10 thin slices off the parmesan cheese wedge
  • butterfly the chicken breasts
  • Place 2 slices of parmesan cheese inside each butterflied breast and close over the cheese
  • chop the garlic
  • Drizzle olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat
  • add in garlic and about a Tbsp of italian seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic starts to soften and you want to sop it all up with some yummy fresh bread
  • Place the chicken breasts in this pan and then sprinkle the top of each chicken breast with italian seasoning, cook until browned on each side and cooked thoroughly (roughly – 8 minutes per side)
  • While the chicken is cooking pour the tomatoes into a medium skillet over medium heat and add in the rest of the garlic and a dash of crushed red pepper (if you enjoy the slow simmering heat), stir occasionally while your kitchen starts to smell like bit of garlicky-savory-heaven
  • Once the chicken is fully cooked, add it to the tomato mixture and simmer while you cook the pasta.
  • Cook as many servings as you need, according to box
  • Serve the chicken and tomatoes over pasta, topped with real grated parmesan and some freshly torn basil leaves
