- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Red onions (peeled and cut into wedges)
- 1 clove garlic cloves

- 1 yellow Bell pepper (rinsed and cut into bite-size pieces)
- 1 red chili pepper (rinsed; seeded and finely chopped)
- 1 Zucchini (rinsed and roughly chopped)
- ¼ cup Tomato paste
- 1 cup Chicken broth (plus extra if needed)

Preparation steps
1.
Rinse the chicken under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut each breast in half and season with salt and pepper.
2.
Preheat oven to 350º F.
3.
Heat the butter and oil in an oven-proof skillet or roasting pan. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 3 minutes each side. Add onions and garlic and saute briefly, add peppers and zucchini and saute for 2 minutes. Add tomato paste, broth and white wine, along with the herbs.
4.
Place in preheated oven and cook for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Add additional broth if needed. Add cocktail tomatoes 10 minutes before chicken is done.
5.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Divide between serving bowls, garnish with fresh herbs and serve.
