Two 4-oz. raw boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets

1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1 tbsp. chopped garlic
1/4 tsp. onion powder

Reduce to a simmer. Cook and stir until reduced to a sauce-like consistency, about 5 minutes.

HG Alternative: The large skillet can be used in place of a grill pan, but the chicken tastes best grilled.
