Creamy Tomato Basil Chicken

-Stephanie Timiney

2 large chicken breasts cubed
3 fresh Garlic cloves
2 green onions or 1/4 yellow onion
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup of fresh Basil
1 tsp oregano
1 can crushed tomatoes or petite diced (unseasoned)
1/2 cup heavy cream

1.Cook the chicken, onion, and garlic in 1 tbsp olive oil. Once chicken is cooked add tomatoes, cream, and basil and oregano.
2. Serve over your choice of pasta and top with Parmesan Cheese or Italian Cheese. It's also good with 1/2 cup of fresh spinach.
3. Add more seasonings if you want to zest it up some. Some of my faves to add are dashes of Pesto, Tarragon, Savory, and Herbes De Provence. You can also substitute dried Basil for the fresh, but it doesn't taste nearly as good. I would guess 2 tsp of basil to 1 tbsp.
