TOMATO BASIL ROASTED CHICKEN



Tomato Basil Roasted Chicken image

I only had a few ingredients in my fridge, and this recipe came to mind. However, it turned out pretty awesome and very Italian. I found that the cheese and tomatoes on top keep the meat very tender and moist. And the roasted tomatoes, mmmmm. Also, I suggest serving it with some roasted cauliflower.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 chicken breasts
1 tomatoes
1/4 cup shredded cheese (Parmesan and Mozzarella)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice, or preferred kind of vinegar)
1 garlic clove, crushed (or 1/2 tsp of garlic powder)
2 tablespoons fresh basil, coarsely chopped (or 1 tsp of dried basil)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat Oven to 350F (175C).
  • Mix the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, pepper and salt, and rub the chicken breasts with them. You can also let it marinate for a few hours or overnight.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the final dish. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and juicy, with no bruises or blemishes.
  • Use fresh basil: Fresh basil has a much more intense flavor than dried basil, so it's worth the extra effort to find it. If you can't find fresh basil, you can use 1 teaspoon dried basil instead.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the tomatoes and basil at the end: Adding the tomatoes and basil at the end of the cooking process will help to preserve their flavor and color.

Conclusion:

This Chicken with Basil and Tomatoes is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The juicy chicken, fresh basil, and sweet tomatoes come together to create a delicious and satisfying dish. Serve it over pasta, rice, or quinoa for a complete meal.
