you can enjoy chocolate cake, too, without blowing the bank as far as fat
in concerned.

including capers and tomatoes.

Combine basil, oregano, salt and pepper; sprinkle half of the mixture over
both sides of chicken.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat half of the oil over mediumhigh heat;
brown chicken on all sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer to plate and set
aside.

in skillet, heat remaining oil over medium heat; cook onion, garlic and
remaining basil mixture, stirring, for about 5 minutes or until softened.

no longer pink inside.
