   Hi there!

   Sure! Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Tomato Basil Chicken that uses chicken breast and tomato paste.

   Tomato Basil Chicken

   Ingredients:
   – 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
   – 2 tablespoons olive oil
   – 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
   – 1 teaspoon dried basil (or 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped)
   – 2 cloves garlic, minced
   – Salt and pepper to taste
   – Optional: Parmesan cheese for serving
   – Fresh basil for garnish

   Instructions:

   1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

   2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

   3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the tomato paste and a splash of water to thin it out. Stir in the dried basil and season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes.

   4. Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon some sauce over the chicken, and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.

   5. Serve: Serve the chicken topped with the sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.

   Tips:

   • You can add some chopped bell peppers or onions to the sauce for extra flavor and nutrition!
   • Serve this dish over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

   Hope you enjoy it! Let me know how it turns out! 🍽️
