A delightful chicken dish combining the tangy flavor of lemon with the earthy aroma of sage, complemented by a rich tomato sauce.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Seasoning the chicken before cooking enhances its flavor.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the chicken to prevent sticking.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a rich flavor to the chicken.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Keep the chicken covered to retain its warmth.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, and carrot until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the vegetables from burning.
Add the sage, lemon rind, and tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Crush the tomatoes slightly to release their juices.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Scrape the bottom of the skillet to incorporate any browned bits into the sauce.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Turn the chicken halfway through cooking for even flavor distribution.
Stir in the lemon juice and cook uncovered for an additional 5 minutes.
Cooking uncovered allows the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve the chicken with the tomato sage sauce, garnished with fresh sage leaves.
Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
