Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pints grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. white balsamic or white wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
4 pieces thin-sliced skinless, boneless chicken breast, or 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1 lb.)
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
10 oz. fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced into rounds
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced into rounds
1/2 cup peperoncini (about 3 oz.), thinly sliced crosswise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss tomatoes, oil, vinegar, garlic, 1 Tbsp. oregano, and 1 tsp. salt on an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet.
  • If using skinless, boneless chicken breasts, slice them into 4 cutlets: Holding knife blade parallel to board, cut breast in half, slicing along a long side, to make 2 pieces.
  • Season chicken on all sides with pepper and remaining 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. oregano. Nestle chicken into tomato mixture. Roast until chicken is almost fully cooked through and tomatoes are starting to burst, 8-10 minutes. Arrange mozzarella rounds over chicken and tomatoes.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pints cherry tomatoes
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 pounds)
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
One 1-pound ball fresh mozzarella, sliced into 6 rounds
10 fresh basil leaves, torn
Baby arugula, for serving
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil onto a rimmed baking sheet and use your fingers to evenly spread it out and coat the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with the Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Scatter the cherry tomatoes on the baking sheet and shake it back and forth so they become evenly coated in the oil and seasoning. Arrange the chicken in the center of the baking sheet, pushing the tomatoes out to the perimeter, and drizzle the chicken with the remaining tablespoon of oil.
  • Bake until the tomatoes are soft, blistered and begin to burst, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the vinegar to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to medium and simmer until the vinegar has reduced by half and is thick enough to coat back of the spoon, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drape a slice of mozzarella over each chicken breast. Bake until the cheese melts and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast has reached 160 degrees F, 5 to 7 minutes (the chicken will carryover cook to 165 F).
  • Sprinkle the chicken and tomatoes with the basil and drizzle with the balsamic reduction. Spoon the collected pan juices over the tomatoes and chicken. Serve on a bed of arugula and with crusty bread to mop up the pan juices.

SHEET-PAN PAPRIKA CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES AND PARMESAN



Sheet-Pan Paprika Chicken With Tomatoes and Parmesan image

This deeply savory, weeknight-friendly sheet-pan chicken is worth buying a new jar of sweet paprika for, especially if you can't remember when you got the one in your spice drawer (for those Fourth of July deviled eggs several summers ago?).The fresher the spices, the more intensely flavorful the dish. This one is as pretty as it is complex, with a mix of colorful cherry tomatoes and peppers that soften and absorb all the chicken juices as they roast. Serve it with something to catch the saucy tomatoes: Crusty bread, polenta or couscous all work well.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH JAMMY TOMATOES AND PANCETTA



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Jammy Tomatoes and Pancetta image

In this relatively speedy sheet-pan dinner, boneless, skinless chicken thighs are seasoned with a savory, cumin-scented spice mix and roasted with whole garlic cloves and cherry tomatoes, which turn soft and sweet in the oven's heat. If you have ripe summer cherry tomatoes, you can skip the brown sugar. If you'd rather use boneless chicken breasts, reduce the cooking time by about 5 to 7 minutes. This makes a light meal on its own, but you can add rice or crusty bread, and maybe a salad, if you need something more substantial.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Freshly ground black pepper

Tips:

  • Choose flavorful tomatoes: Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. Heirloom tomatoes are a great option, but any type of tomato will work.
  • Use fresh mozzarella: Fresh mozzarella is much more flavorful than pre-shredded mozzarella. If you can't find fresh mozzarella, you can use a combination of shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  • Season the chicken well: Don't be afraid to season the chicken liberally. A good combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning will give the chicken plenty of flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure to leave some space between the chicken breasts so that they can cook evenly.
  • Roast the chicken until it is cooked through: The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the chicken to retain its juices and make it more tender.

Conclusion:

This sheet pan chicken with tomatoes and mozzarella is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the tomatoes are roasted to perfection, and the mozzarella cheese is melted and gooey. Serve this dish with a side of rice or pasta for a complete meal.
