All credit for this Skillet Tomato Chicken recipe goes to my mom. She’s a genius. There is something about mom food. And grandma food. I wonder if Leah will grow up and think the same thing. I hope so.
This Skillet Tomato Chicken is so simple and so delicious. The flavors are surprising and different from what I thought when I first saw it. It’s rich and filled with that classic tomato flavor but there is something deeper to it that makes it comfy and cozy. The chicken falls apart easily and melts in your mouth. This one will become a staple in your chicken recipe stash.
The best part about this Skillet Tomato Chicken is that it’s cooked all in one pan. It’s my favorite kind of recipe.

How to make the Tomato Sauce
This Skillet Tomato Chicken sauce is really easy to make. I mean, really easy. Made up of onions, chicken broth, a can of crushed tomatoes and spices. That’s it.
What type of pan to use?
A big old skillet will work best for this recipe. Also one with a lid. My favorite pan to use with most things I cook is a cast iron pan. I love this cast iron pan, but there are tons. But don’t worry, you can use any skillet. You could probably use a dutch oven for this one too.
