1 serving

130g skinless chicken breast
2 tsp olive oil
1½ tbsp tomato purée
½ tsp dried oregano
40g mozzarella, grated
10g parmesan or hard cheese, finely grated
green salad, to serve
½ tbsp balsamic vinegar

Method

Preheat the grill to high. Flatten the chicken breast a little by placing it between some parchment paper and bashing it with a rolling pin. Heat a frying pan over a medium to high heat with half the oil. Season the chicken and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through.

Place the cooked chicken on a baking tray. Mix together the tomato pureé with the oregano and spread on top of the chicken.

Top with the mozzarella and scatter over half of the parmesan. Place under the grill for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Serve up and garnish with the remaining parmesan and green salad. Drizzle over the remaining oil and balsamic.

Tips

This chicken is also delicious cold so you could get ahead on some packed lunch prep. Just make sure the chicken has cooled completely then keep in the fridge until you’re ready to eat.
