Sometimes even when at home there is only a few products, you still can prepare satisfying meal. For this one you only need to buy canned tomatoes and chicken breast, other products – I guest almost everyone have at home. But I have to tell you this time you will have to spend some time preparing tomato sauce, but it’s worth that. I like it even more than store bought. But my kids don’t agree with me 🙂 But everyone has the right to choose.
Chicken breast with homemade tomato sauce
Time needed:
Yields: 4 servings
Calories: 376 kcal / 1 serving
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts
- salt
- black peppers
- 1 tbsp. wheat flour
- 2 tbsps. olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 400 g canned tomatoes without skin, chopped
Directions:
- Wash chicken breasts, dry up with paper towel. Put on a large baking paper or plastic film, cover with it and beat with meat hammer or rolling pin, that everywhere breast was the same thickness. Then sprinkle with salt, peppers and wheat flour. Set a side and prepare tomato sauce.
- Heat on a low heat pot with one tablespoon of oil. Add onions and bake for 5 minutes, till it becomes soft. Then add garlic and bake mixing for 10 seconds more.
- Add chopped tomatoes with the juice and boil. Then lower the heat and let simmer for 20 minutes, till sauce will be thick. Season with salt and peppers.
- Heat on a medium heat pan with another tablespoon of oil. Add chicken breasts and bake on both sides for 5-8 minutes. While baking oil sizzles a lot so we cover pan with smaller size lid and press a little bit. This helps to brown chicken breast evenly also. Baked chicken take out and serve right away with prepared tomato sauce. Enjoy!

General Tso’s chicken
When you see recipe with famous name, you say that you should try. And after some time you understand that it is your family favourite dish. Like most of Asia dishes it’s quick in preparation and it’s super tasty.
White beans, tomato and cucumber salads
They came out very refreshing, filling and fast. Even the kids liked it, and my son said that these salads are even better than normal (he almost every time says that the meal is just normal).
Chicken and zucchini pie
I can say that this is almost the same as Zucchini pie with tuna just tuna changed to chicken. Also I can say that I found out it only after a few times I baked this pie. Their taste are very different. They both are favourites in our family. Just now I bake with chicken more, because my kids don”t eat tuna, but pie with the chicken eats one of my kids.
Sesame chicken with garlic sauce
Easily prepared chicken with a mild taste of sesame. My family liked it. Just don’t make mistake like me – don’t fry chicken on a very high heat – it burns very quickly 🙂 But chicken was good – baked but not overbaked, tender and juicy. And the garlic sauce is very easy, but my hubby liked it a lot 🙂 As always in my family – the easier the dish, the better my family evaluates it.
Spicy chicken wings
When the weather was not so warm, we still wanted something to snack with beer. So I corrected a little bit the recipe and baked this wings in the oven. Now I think that we should repeat them, just bake this time on the grill. Anyway in the marinate used so many spices that I was afraid of them at first, but wings baked so good that even my hubby who hates caraway, couldn’t say anything bad about them 🙂
