INSTRUCTIONS
- 1Cook pasta in salted water for the time indicated on the package. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a pan and sear the breasts (whole) on both sides – about 3 minutes on one side and 4 minutes on the other. Remove the breasts from the pan and set them aside for later.
- 2Leave the pan on the hob, reduce the heat and sauté the chopped onion with crushed garlic in the remaining drippings for 2 minutes. Then increase the heat and add tomato paste. Stir and add chopped tomatoes, basil, and chives. Cook everything on medium heat for 5 minutes. If the tomatoes start to stick, add a little water.
- 3Return the seared chicken breasts to the pan, pour the prepared tomato sauce over them, and top with mozzarella. Cover the pan with a lid and let it finish cooking on medium heat (about 3–4 minutes). Serve with cooked pasta.
