Chicken Parmesan (serves 2)

In the book, "The Plan" by Lyn-Genet Recitas, a recipe like this is recommended to test tomatoes.

Ingredients:

2 Plum tomatoes, diced
3-4 Tablespoons of olive oil
4 Garlic cloves (peel and mince 3 clove and smash one)
2 Tablespoons of jullianed or chopped basil
Sea Salt and Pepper to taste
3/4 lb of chicken breast
3 ounces of fresh unsalted mozzarella
1 ounce Parmesan

Method:

Pound the chicken to 1/3 – 1/2 inch thickness. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.

Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat and add 1-2 Tablespoons of oil. When oil is hot, add smashed garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 7 minutes, until golden brown and softened. Remove the garlic.

Turn up the heat to medium. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook 2-3 minutes per side, until the chicken is brown. Lower the heat to medium and cook the chicken for another 2-3 minutes turning once until the chicken is done.

Saute the tomatoes, minced garlic and basil in 2 Tablespoons of oil until the tomatoes are soft.

Spoon the tomato mixture on to the chicken and top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.  Broil for until the cheese has melted.

If you like thicker chicken then bake the chicken in a 350 F oven for 15-20 min.
