5.Heat olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes until browned on all sides.
6.Remove the chicken and add the crushed tomatoes, basil, and salt to the pan.
7.Cook the sauce for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8.Place the chicken bundle back into the pan with the sauce and simmer for 20-30 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked.
9.Slice the chicken and serve with the tomato sauce on top.
