Serves: 4
Ingredients
4 medium, skinless, boneless chicken breasts4 tablespoons olive oil3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely sliced2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes1 teaspoon dried oregano2 x 125g mozzarella balls, drained and finely slicedSalt and freshly ground black pepperCrispy Italian salad to serve
Method
Using a sharp knife, slash each chicken breast four times, cutting through to the middle of the breast. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and gently fry the garlic and the chicken over a medium heat for 2 minutes on each side until golden all over.
Pour in the chopped tomatoes and oregano and season with salt and pepper. Cook uncovered over a medium heat for 8 minutes. Half –way through the cooking, turn the breasts. Meanwhile pre-heat the grill to it’s highest setting.
Remove the pan from the heat and place the sliced mozzarella on top of the chicken breasts. Grind over some black pepper and place the pan under the frill for about 1 minute or until the cheese starts to melt. (Protect the handle of the frying pan with foil if necessary.)
To serve, pour some of the tomato sauce into the middle of 4 serving plates, top with the chicken breast and enjoy with a green salad
