   Sure! Here’s a simple and delicious recipe you can try with chicken breast and tomato paste:

   Tomato Basil Chicken

   Ingredients:

   • 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
   • 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
   • 1 cup chicken broth (or water)
   • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
   • 1 onion (finely chopped)
   • 1 tsp dried basil (or a handful of fresh basil, chopped)
   • 1 tsp oregano
   • Salt and pepper to taste
   • Olive oil
   • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for serving)
   • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

   Instructions:

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

   2. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

   3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

   4. Make the Sauce: Stir in the tomato paste, chicken broth, dried basil, and oregano. Mix well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken.

   5. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them. Cover and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

   6. Serve: Serve the chicken topped with the tomato sauce, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan and fresh basil if desired.

   This dish pairs well with pasta, rice, or a side salad. Enjoy your meal! If you try it out, let me know how it turns out!
