Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil until it shimmers.

- Add the crushed and chopped tomatoes, white beans, Italian seasoning, sea salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Return the chicken and any juices that have collected to the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the chicken heats through. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil before serving.
