Save Recipe
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dried oregano, divided
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dried thyme, divided
- 1 medium garlic clove, minced or grated with a Microplane
- 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)

- Pinch of dried red chile flakes
- 1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes

- 2 cups lacinato (Tuscan) kale, stems removed and leaves cut into 2-inch ribbons
Directions
- Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the breadcrumbs and toast them, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon thyme, and the garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute longer. Transfer breadcrumbs to plate and set aside.

Add chili flakes and remaining 1 tablespoon each oregano and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, their liquid and the stock and bring to a simmer, breaking up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Simmer until sauce has thicken slightly, about 10 minutes. Add chicken and simmer until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in chickpeas and kale and cook until chickpeas are warmed through and kale is wilted, about 2 minutes. Top with the breadcrumbs and serve immediately.

Chicken Breasts with Brown Butter-Garlic Tomato Sauce
Yield
Serves 4 (serving size: 1 chicken breast and about 1/3 cup tomato mixture)
Browned butter is the quick cook’s best-kept secret: Less than two minutes in the pan caramelizes the milk solids in butter for a fragrant, nutty note in any dish. Try not to chop the tomatoes too finely; you want them somewhat chunky so they’ll break down in the sauce faster, but you also want them to retain some shape. If your chicken breasts are larger than 6 ounces (some can be as big as 12 ounces), halve the two breasts horizontally instead of pounding them thin. Serve over a bed of whole-wheat couscous, whole-grain polenta, or brown rice.
Ingredients
- 4 (6-oz.) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 garlic cloves, sliced
- 2 cups halved grape tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
