INGREDIENTS:
• 4 pieces of chicken breast;
• 500g cherry tomatoes;
• 15g butter;
• 1 tablespoon pesto;
• 1 tablespoon oil;
• salt, pepper, sweet/hot paprika ;
• ~200g mozzarella (I only had 125g, so I topped up the rest with grated cheddar);
• 5 cloves of garlic.
METHOD OF PREPARATION:
1. I seasoned the chicken with oil, salt, pepper, paprika and two crushed cloves of garlic.
2. I cut the tomatoes in half and put them in a tray.
3. I added a spoonful of pesto, salt, pepper, cubed butter, and three crushed garlic cloves, then mixed everything together.
4. I put the chicken pieces among the tomatoes and put the tray in the oven preheated to 200*C for 20 minutes.
5. I turned the chicken on the other side and put sliced mozzarella on top.
6. I put the tray back in the oven and left it for ~10 minutes, until the mozzarella was nicely browned.
We ate it with couscous, but you can replace it with rice/mashed potatoes/ salad.
Good appetite!
