Preparation:
- Arrange chicken breasts in an ovenproof dish, ensuring they do not overlap.
- In a bowl, combine all ingredients except the cheese. Mix well.
-
-
Marinating:
- Cover the chicken breasts with the tomato mixture in the dish.
- Cover the dish with foil and let it marinate. It’s ideal to marinate it for a few hours, but it’s not necessary if you’re short on time.
-
Baking:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Bake the chicken covered with foil for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle the chicken with cheese.
- Bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. The cheese doesn’t need to brown unless desired; a gooey texture works perfectly.
-
Serving:
- Serve one chicken breast per person with your choice of side dish, such as rice, pasta, couscous, or even mashed potatoes.
Enjoy the freshness and flavor of this delightful Fresh Tomato Chicken dish! It’s a versatile recipe that’s sure to become a family favorite.
