Four peeled large fresh tomatoes (any kind), in large chunks
6 garlic cloves- peeled and sliced
Bunch of fresh basil
Fresh oregano — 1/2 tsp
Fresh thyme — 1/2 tsp
Fresh rosemary — 1/2 tsp
Turmeric — 1/2 tsp
1/2 cup virgin olive oil
Black pepper

Instruction

In a heavy saucepan, bring to medium high heat and add oil. Sautee garlic cloves and chicken, turning chicken on both sides, till light golden brown. Add tomatoes, chopped basil and 3/4 cup water, cover and let simmer for 10-15 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through). Uncover and continue cooking till juices evaporate to the level you want. Add butter, sliced in small pieces (optional). Sprinkle a pinch of turmeric and some pepper. Add sprigs of fresh herbs and turn the heat off. Serve this by itself, with sauteed spinach or even your favorite veggies!
