This dish highlights what Italian cooking is all about: using fresh ingredients to create a simple, yet delicious, dish. The 5-minute pan sauce is made with classic staples like plum tomatoes, rosemary, basil, garlic, shallots and balsamic vinegar. Since the sauce comes together in a matter of minutes, be sure to have all of the ingredients prepped before you start searing the chicken. Halved grape tomatoes make a great stand-in for the plum variety if that's what's available. Because this sauce is so versatile, you could also make this recipe with fish or pork chops or stir in beans for a vegetarian option.
