Chicken in tomato sauce
Description
If traditional chicken breast recipes have become a bit boring, definitely try this interesting idea. Serve this dish with vegetables or any side dish of your choice. The chicken becomes incredibly flavorful thanks to initial searing and simmering in sauce, making it practically melt in your mouth. I highly recommend trying this recipe at home.
