Mozzarella chicken with tomato sauce
Tender chicken baked in a simple tomato sauce under melted mozzarella, with green beans and potatoes: plenty of protein.
Ingredients
- 600 g Chicken breast, 2 large breasts, halved horizontally
- 400 g Passata
- 0.5 Garlic, cloves, crushed
- 3 g Dried oregano
- 20 ml Olive oil
- 125 g Mozzarella, sliced
- 10 g Fresh basil, torn
- 500 g New potatoes, halved
- 250 g Green beans, trimmed
- 4 g Salt
- 2 g Black pepper
Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Put the potatoes on a tray with half the oil and some salt and roast for 15 minutes.
- Season the chicken and sear it in a frying pan with the rest of the oil for 3 minutes on each side, until just golden.
- Lay the chicken in a baking dish. Mix the passata, garlic and oregano and pour over.
- Top with the mozzarella and bake alongside the potatoes for 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbling.
- Steam the beans for 5 minutes. Scatter the chicken with basil and serve with the potatoes and beans.
