Sometimes making your own tomato sauce takes only a few minutes longer than warming a prepared sauce, and it's ultimately more delicious. This succulent chicken topped with a traditional olive- and caper-infused tomato sauce is sure to become a family favorite.

Ingredients

  • 4 whole chicken, breast, boneless, skinless
    6 ounces each
  • salt
    to taste
  • pepper, black ground
    to taste
  • 4 teaspoon oil, olive, extra-virgin
    divided
  • 5 clove(s) garlic
    minced
  • 28 ounce(s) tomatoes, crushed
    with juice
  • 1/3 cup(s) olives, Kalamata, pitted
    chopped
  • 2 tablespoon capers
    drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper, red, crushed
  • 1/4 cup(s) basil, fresh
    chopped plus leaves for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon lemon
    juice

Instructions

  • 1

    Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the cutlets and cook until lightly browned and cook through but still juicy, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

  • 2

    In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and their juice, olives, capers, and pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chopped basil and lemon juice.

    Return the chicken to the pan briefly just to reheat. Serve the chicken hot with the puttanesca sauce on top, garnished with basil leaves.
