Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 cloves minced garlic
½ red bell pepper
½ yellow bell pepper
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
¼ cup heavy cream
½ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup chopped fresh basil
freshly grated parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

Season the 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. In a large skillet heat HALF of the 2 tablespoons olive oil, over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken for 5-8 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165 degrees and the chicken is brown on each side. Set the cooked chicken aside on a plate.
Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet, along with the 2 cloves minced garlic, ½ red bell pepper, ½ yellow bell pepper, and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until tender.
Add the 1 (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, ¼ cup heavy cream, ½ cup chicken broth, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the sauce until thickened.
Add the chicken back to the skillet until heated through. Serve over hot pasta and garnish with ½ cup chopped fresh basil and freshly grated parmesan cheese for garnish if desired.
