This is such a delicious meal. It's a little bit like a chicken margarita pizza without the base. It's store-cupboard/freezer fare that works well as a mid-week meal or even as a main for a rushed dinner party. Mozzarella freezes well as does chicken so all you need to buy fresh is the basil (but if you're really stuck dried thyme would be a great substitute).
Basil, bubbling mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and chicken, what's not to love?
2 skinless, free-range chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
3 fat garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 onion, halved and sliced
1 tin of cherry tomatoes
a large handful of basil
a ball of mozzarella
salt and black pepper
Method
1. Heat the oven to 180C.
2. Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the garlic and onion. Cook over a moderate heat until soft then add the tomatoes, basil and season well.
3. Spoon into a small baking dish top with the chicken, crumble over the mozzerella and pop in the oven.
4. Cook for 20 minutes or until bubbling and golden.
Serve with veggies. Divine.
I am going to make this for the children this week, it looks very kiddie friendly, Lucinda xx
