Check The Pantry and Experiment

Here's an easy recipe when you don't have much in the fridge or pantry. It requires only a few ingredients.

A couple of chicken breasts (skinless)
1/2 cup flour
salt & pepper (fresh cracked)

1 cup chopped tomatoes (I used grape tomatoes - small like cherry tomatoes, except elongated)
white wine
garlic or shallots
Olive oil
butter

Butter your frying pan and fry the garlic or shallots (chopped finely) about 3 minutes.

Add tomotoes and a bit of olive oil, fry on high heat a minute or two.

Add wine, enough to cover tomatoes, but not make soup. Boil, then reduce heat. Let simmer for about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, sprinkle salt and pepper on the chicken breasts, then hit with the back of a knife to soften and blend. Then, take the chicken breasts and drag in flour to cover. Once your chicken is ready, heat oil in a heavy pan, then add chicken. Fry each side until brown - about 3 minutes each side. Don't overcook your chicken.

When the chicken is done, lay it out on a plate, drop the tomatoe sauce on it and bammo! Easy, quick and few ingredients.
