MARINATED ITALIAN CHICKEN
It doesn't get much easier than this. This is a quick, flavorful chicken dish that I like to serve with baby carrots and garden peas, or sometimes corn. Some garlic and/or cheese biscuits also go well with this. Also great grilled (or broiled), along with marinated vegetables. Note: I have skipped the marinating process before and it is still very tasty.

Steps:
- To make the marinade, in a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, sage, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the chicken breasts on the diagonal into thirds. Using a large knife or cleaver, lightly pound each piece to flatten slightly. Place in a shallow glass or ceramic dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, turning occasionally.
- To make the sauce, in a medium-sized saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over moderate heat. Add the garlic and saute for about 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Stir in the tomatoes with their juices, the red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in half of the basil leaves. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Drain the chicken, discarding the marinade. Add the chicken to the hot pan, without crowding, and saute for 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through. (Cook the chicken in batches or in 2 pans if necessary.) Transfer to a large, warm serving platter.
- Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the tomato sauce and pour over the chicken. Sprinkle the remaining basil over the top and serve.
- Note: Cook time does not reflect marinating time of at least 8 hours.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for this recipe. Bone-in chicken will take longer to cook and may not marinate as evenly.
- Make sure the chicken is fully thawed: If you're using frozen chicken, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in a cold water bath for 30 minutes.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives this chicken its delicious flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains olive oil, herbs, and spices.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavorful it will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 15 minutes, but for best results, marinate it for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This chicken is delicious served with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
This marinated Italian chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices, then cooked until it is cooked through. The result is a tender, juicy, and flavorful chicken that is sure to please everyone at the table.
