Brown bite-size chicken breast pieces in a hot pan with a little oil, then add the onion and pepper. Stir in the tomato paste, add the tomato, and cook until the chicken is fully done. Avoid overcrowding the pan so the chicken browns instead of steaming.
Cook the chicken just until it is done; overcooking is the main reason it turns dry. Cut the pieces evenly and sear them in a hot pan before adding the vegetables. The tomato juices help keep chicken breast sauté with tomato, pepper, onion and tomato paste moist.
Serve chicken breast sauté with tomato, pepper, onion and tomato paste with rice, bulgur, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce. A green salad or plain yogurt also makes a fresh, simple side.
Yes, canned tomatoes work in chicken breast sauté with tomato, pepper, onion and tomato paste. Drain them if they seem very watery, then simmer the dish until the sauce thickens and the chicken is fully cooked.
Add the tomato paste after the onion and pepper have started to soften, and cook it briefly before adding the tomatoes. This lets the paste lose its raw taste and coat the ingredients in chicken breast sauté with tomato, pepper, onion and tomato paste.
Yes, but thaw the chicken completely in the refrigerator before cooking it. Pat it dry so it browns properly, then prepare chicken breast sauté with tomato, pepper, onion and tomato paste as usual; cooking partially frozen pieces can leave them unevenly done.
Yes, you can cook chicken breast sauté with tomato, pepper, onion and tomato paste ahead and refrigerate it in a covered container. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, stirring until it is hot throughout.
Yes, freeze chicken breast sauté with tomato, pepper, onion and tomato paste in airtight, meal-size containers. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat until hot throughout; the peppers may soften a little after freezing.
Add chili flakes, fresh chili, or a little hot sauce to chicken breast sauté with tomato, pepper, onion and tomato paste. Start with a small amount and taste the sauce before adding more, especially if your tomato paste is already seasoned.
Yes, its chicken provides substantial protein, which can help make the meal satisfying. Pair chicken breast sauté with tomato, pepper, onion and tomato paste with a fiber-rich side such as bulgur or salad for a more complete meal.

Chicken breast sauté with tomato, pepper, onion and tomato paste is a home-style pan-cooked dish: pieces of chicken breast are cooked with softened onion, fresh tomato and pepper, then brought together with tomato paste. The sauce is savoury and gently sweet from the vegetables, while the chicken stays lean and tender when it is not overcooked.
It works as an easy lunch or dinner, commonly served with rice, bulgur or bread; a crisp salad or yoghurt makes a fresh contrast. This is a protein-rich dish, with 17.1 g of protein per 100 g, alongside a modest amount of carbohydrate from the vegetables and paste. For a lighter plate, use oil sparingly and add extra peppers and tomatoes, or serve it with salad instead of a large portion of rice.
