Chicken Chunks with Smashed Tomatoes

Published: Jul 15, 2018 · Modified: Oct 16, 2020 by greenlitebitescom · This post may contain affiliate links · 2 Comments

Every Sunday I spend some time prepping for work week lunches. Normally I'll utilize the broiler and roast in large batches for multiple meals, but I just didn't have it in me this day.  Instead, I pulled out my trusty non-stick skillet and found inspiration from the pint of cherry tomatoes sitting on the counter.

This is a super simple recipe that only takes minutes to pull together. With a larger skillet, you can double or triple for more meals, but I kept it small. Some weeks I want more variety. It gets boring cooking and eating the same thing every day.

Chicken Chunks with Smashed Tomatoes

Prep 5 mins

Cook 10 mins

Total 15 mins

Author Roni Noone

Yield 1 serving

A simple lunch idea that can be made ahead or eaten immediately. 

Ingredients

  • 250g bite-sized tomatoes like grape
  • 6oz chicken breast cut into chunks
  • Italian spices to taste (garlic, onion, oregano, basil, parsley)
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Add the tomatoes to a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a pinch of salt. Once they start to scorch and get soft smash them with a wooden spoon.

Add the chicken chunks and spices.

Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the middle.

Sprinkle with dried parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The chicken is easier to cut when partially frozen. Pull one out of the freezer and just zap for a few seconds in the microwave so you can get a knife through it or better yet, just cut it with kitchen shears. 
  • If you want to bulk this up, use it as a topping on zoodles or shirataki noodles.

    I am not sure if this is where you comment on things but I think this is a great idea for using chicken. Now if I could only get my DIL to eat tomatoes....other than BBQ sauce and Prego (the only spagetti sauce she will eat!). She even hates ketchup. It's a challenge since we live with them to care for the two baby grandkids and I prepare all the dinner meals. Oh well....
