Tomato Basil Chicken

Tomato Basil Chicken

Serves 4.

This was super easy, has a nice presentation, and is a healthy dish that has a semi-rich taste.  Serve over rice.  The blog linked below has a recipe for cashew rice pilaf that she serves with the dish, but I didn't take the time to make it.
Slightly adapted from: The Girl Who Ate Everything

1 T. Butter
1/2 c. finely chopped onion

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
