- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 2/3 cup red onion, diced

Steps
Step 1
Chop chicken into large chunks. Season with pinches of sea salt & pepper.

Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat and add olive oil and chicken breast pieces. Sear on both sides for 3 to 5 minutes, no worries if the chicken is not fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 3
Add olive oil to the skillet, then add garlic and red onion. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes and be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Then add the chopped vegetables and sauté for about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Add the crushed tomatoes and chicken stock. Bring to a light simmer, then season to taste with sea salt & pepper.
Step 6
Nestle the chicken breast pieces in the sauce, then cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until the vegetables are soft, yet still somewhat firm.
Step 7
Garnish and enjoy!
