When not too many ideas for dinner but, otherwise, hunger we squeezed, was sometimes unsuspected powers of improvisation. I wanted chicken basil but few other ingredients basil (I still had it…). I suddenly concocted a chicken with basil and tomato with a jar of tomato that was lying, It was unpretentious but actually quite good with a small simple white rice!

Serves 4 people
- 400g chicken breast

Off the heat, add the remaining basil, salt, pepper and serve with rice.
I looked a little close all your recipes and your comments at the same time and it's great and inventive .
Hi,
very good recipe is simple to make, I'm a little too forced on tomato sauce but I think good (: thank you very much for all your recipe makes me want to cook !
@ Stpéhanie: We do “force” never too on tomato sauce :-)
Très simple à faire pour un résultat super! Really good! Thank you for this recipe! Et c’est vrai que la
Prochaine fois je n’hésiterai pas à mettre un peu plus de concentré ;)
recette essayée hier pour le déjeuner : fast, simple et peu onéreux ! by cons, le gout n’est pas recherché, j’aurais préféré quelque chose de plus parfumé.
