Ingredients
Food Safety
Before you start, wash all surfaces and your hands with soap and warm water, and remember to wash your hands, utensils and cutting boards after they touch raw meat or eggs. Avoid cross-contamination by using a different cutting board for your meat and other ingredients. Make sure you’re cooking to safe temperatures and chilling any leftovers within two hours.

Steps
Trim fat from chicken. Finely chop anchovies. Melt butter in a large wide frying pan set over medium heat. Add chopped anchovies and using a wooden spoon, mash them into the butter as best you can. Add chicken breasts, bone side down, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes a side.
Add wine. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 5 minutes. Turn chicken and scatter tomatoes around the chicken pieces. Cover again and cook another 5 minutes. (Meanwhile shred basil.) Remove chicken to dinner plates.
Turn heat to high and add basil. Use a wooden spoon to scrap up brown bits from the bottom of the pan and stir until tomatoes start to pop and liquid just coats the bottom of the pan. Pour over chicken. Rice or baby potatoes and a green veggie are noble companions.
