Detailed Method of Preparation

  1. Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken cutlets until golden brown on both sides, roughly 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until aromatic.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes, dried basil, and dried oregano. Cook until the tomatoes break down and form a sauce.
  5. Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, allowing them to simmer in the sauce for a few minutes.
  6. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
