Caprese Chicken over Pasta

1 chicken, cut up
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp each salt and pepper
1 tbsp oil
1 cup onion, chopped
1 tbsp garlic
1-28 oz can fire roasted tomatoes (diced/crushed)
linguini or fettuchine pasta, cooked as usual

You can skin the chicken or leave it on (I leave it on). Mix flour, salt & pepper. Dredge chicken in that, then fry it in a large pan and about 1 tbsp oil over med heat for about 10 mins, turning once (until golden brown). Set aside. Add the onion to the pan, sautee til golden. Add the garlic, sautee about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, bring to a simmer and return chicken. Cover and cook 15 mins or until the chicken is cooked through.

I serve this with slivered basil leaves and diced fresh whole milk mozzarella cheese on the side and with garlic bread.
