A healthy, flavorful dish that is packed with juicy tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic, and topped with Parmesan!
For my dad’s birthday a few days ago, my mom and I made this dish together! Not only was it easy to make, but the flavor was amazing! Using fresh tomatoes and basil, this is quite healthy too!! We served the chicken over pasta, but if you are not a pasta fan, you could definitely serve this by itself!! With summer weather still upon us, this is the perfect dinner for any night! Enjoy!!
