Chicken, Tomato & Basil Bake

Quick to put together and VERY filling, this dish is for ONE portion (and does NOT include the potatoes 😂)
Course Chicken & Turkey
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 1 Portion

Ingredients

  • 200 g Raw Chicken Breast
  • 25g Light Red Pesto
  • 30 g Mozzarella grated or fresh
  • ½ Brown Onion
  • 220 g Chopped Tomatoes
  • 6 Leaves Fresh Basil dried can also be used
  • Spray Oil

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 200℃. Slice your onion
  • Make 4 slits through your chicken breast and then share the pesto between those 4 slits. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place into an oven dish.
  • In a pan spray 10 squirts of oil then add your sliced onion, cook this on a high heat for 2-3 mins, stirring regularly, until they colour then turn the heat to low and add your tinned tomatoes and 4 leaves of fresh basil (1 teaspoon dried basil),
  • Simmer this for 2-3 minutes, stirring careful so the sauce does not catch and burn and then carefully spoon it around the chicken in the oven proof dish.
  • Put your mozzarella on top of the chicken (I popped some paprika on as well in order to give some colour
  • Tightly cover with silver foil and place in the oven for 20 mins. Then remove the foil and put back in the oven uncovered for a further 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, transfer your chicken to a plate, stir the sauce so that it incorporates the chicken juices, then spoon THAT on your plate and bobs your uncle!
