Ingredients
- 4 Chicken Breasts, skinned and boned
- Tin diced tomatoes, preferrably 'No Salt Added' (it's not needed so why add it?!)
- A coarsely chopped onion
- Handful of fresh basil leaves, torn and split into two halves
Method
- Preheat oven to 350
- Reserve one half of basil for garnishing finished dish
- Mix all ingredients in an oven-proof dish, cover, cook for 30 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked
- Use slotted spoon to serve chicken and other vegetables
Serving Suggestions
Serve over rice, pasta, steamed spinach, or perhaps winter squash. A lovely accompaniment to new potatoes.
The remaining tomato juice could be thickened into a sauce in its own right. However, using just the vegetables has usually suited us as it is such a wonderful way to keep the chicken tender. I have on occasion served just the chicken and used the juice and tomatoes as the tomato+stock base for a sauce for another meal.
Alternatives / Things to Try
Could try spinach, mushrooms, or peppers too.
