Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped

2 cups chicken broth (low sodium)

1 cup brown rice

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried oregano on both sides.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

        Add Tomatoes and Broth: Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet, followed by the chicken broth. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer.

          Return Chicken and Simmer: Place the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet, nestling them into the tomato mixture. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

            Cook the Brown Rice: While the chicken is simmering, cook the brown rice according to package instructions using an appropriate amount of water or broth for added flavor.

              Finish with Fresh Basil: Once the chicken is cooked, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired.

                Serve: Fluff the cooked brown rice and divide it among plates. Top each serving with the tomato basil chicken and sauce. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
