By Alqualonde

With a light butter and wine sauce, the tomatoes are allowed to shine in this simple yet tasty dish.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper
• 3 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, whole
• 4 cloves garlic, sliced
• 2 Tbsp butter or margarine, cold

Preparation

Step 1

1. Season chicken with salt and pepper and fry in a hot skillet with oil. Fry about 5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove to a plate to keep warm and set aside.

2. Add wine, garlic and tomatoes to skillet and continue to simmer over medium heat until wine is reduced by half and tomatoes start to split, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in butter. To make a thicker sauce, pour in a cornstarch mixture (1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tsp cold water) while sauce is simmering. Whisk until thick. Pour sauce over chicken and serve.
