Ingredients

  • 4 skinless chicken breast fillets
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • salsa
  • 3/4 cup of kalamata olives
  • 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre heat the oven to 180C / 350 F.
  2. Press down on the fat part of the chicken breast (or bash with a flat bottomed object) in order to even out the thickness of the whole breast which facilitates more even cooking.
  3. Heat he olive oil in a frying pan, and when hot, pan fry the chicken breasts on each side until just turning golden but not cooked through. Remove and set aside in a medium size roasting tray.
  4. Mix all the salsa ingredients together and spread over the chicken breasts and in the tray.
  5. Roast for 20 - 25 minutes until cooked through.

Notes

  • This would be lovely served with crusty bread, rice or cous cous to mop up all the juices.
  • Store any leftovers in the fridge.
