Steps for Chicken Breast with Cherry Tomatoes

Pound the chicken breast slices with a meat tenderizer between two sheets of parchment paper. If you don’t have a meat tenderizer, use a glass.
Then, coat the chicken with flour on both sides.
Meanwhile, in a large pan, pour a couple of tablespoons of oil and sauté some finely chopped basil leaves and the garlic clove split in half.
Add the floured chicken breast and let it brown over medium heat, turning it to cook evenly on both sides until golden. Season with salt and pepper.
Once ready, move them to a plate.
In the same pot, pour the cherry tomatoes cut into pieces.
Let them wilt.
Add a bit of salt, then reintroduce the chicken.
Deglaze with white wine, let it evaporate, add the water and the half teaspoon of sugar to give a slightly sweet and sour flavor note.
Cook for a few minutes so that a creamy sauce forms.
Enjoy your meal.
