30 Minute Chicken with Braised Tomatoes and Burrata

by Anna Chwistek
Anna Chwistek

30 minute chicken with braised cherry tomatoes and burrata… all made in one skillet. It’s simple but mouthwatering. The chicken fillets are seared until golden, topped with burrata and spoonfuls of garlicky, balsamic-braised cherry tomatoes.
Serve this simple skillet chicken with some crusty bread for soaking up all that delicious pan-sauce. A tasty dinner that celebrates the ease of a classic combination. 

Chicken with Braised Tomatoes and Burrata

A simple but impressive dish that’s creamy, full of umami richness and juicy sweetness. We take some cherry tomatoes and braise them in butter perfumed with garlic, balsamic vinegar and honey. Then serve them with seared chicken and a milky white mound of burrata for a weeknight dinner that’s truly show-stopping.

Make sure to serve it with plenty of bread and a big salad for a delicious weeknight dinner. Or serve at a dinner party with some chilled white wine and bask in the afterglow of a culinary triumph.
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.

Chicken with Braised Tomatoes and Burrata

RECIPE NOTES

  • burrata is a soft Italian cheese usually made from cow’s milk and is basically heaven on earth. It’s milky and creamy and you’re going to be head-over-heels for it. If you can’t find it, just swap for mozzarella
  • for this recipe, you can use chicken breast fillets or boneless/skinless chicken thighs
  • add a big salad with arugula drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar
  • for a vegetarian version, just omit chicken and serve the cherry tomatoes with burrata and some crusty bread. This version is delicious as an appetizer, but if you add a salad, you’ll have a light lunch
  • add fresh basil, oregano or parsley

30 Minute Chicken with Braised Tomatoes and Burrata

Chicken with Braised Tomatoes and Burrata
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breast fillets
  • 2 burrata balls (150 g/5.5 oz each)
  • 400 g/14 oz cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • crusty bread, for serving
  • toasted pine nuts, for serving

Seasoning

  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper, more for serving
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes, more for serving

Instructions

    1. Season chicken with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper and sweet paprika.
    2. Heat oil and butter in a non-stick frying skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook, about 5-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and browned on both sides. This can vary with the size of your chicken. Remove from skillet and place on a clean plate.
    3. Lower the heat, add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Deglaze the skillet with 1/4 cup water. Stir with a wooden spoon to dissolve the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 1 minute. Add cherry tomatoes, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper and red pepper flakes. Stir in balsamic vinegar, honey and thyme sprigs. Cover and allow to braise for 10 minutes.
    4. In the meantime, thinly slice the chicken. When ready, remove the lid and slide chicken back into the skillet. Simmer, uncovered, for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
    5. Break the burrata over the chicken and turn off the heat. Let the chicken rest for 3 minutes, then finish off with black pepper, red pepper flakes and toasted pine nuts.
    6. Serve with a big salad and some crusty bread. Enjoy!

    You mention thyme sprigs in the ingredients list but I can’t find them in the actual recipe, when do I use them?

    Fantastic! My daughter, who is a very picky eater, loved it. I substituted a few things I didn’t have in the pantry (cayenne for crushed red pepper and dried for fresh thyme), but it came out great.

    Delish – didn’t have pine nuts/red pepper flakes- but great without it. Also put in less salt/pepper and it was fine
