Do remember to rest the chicken for ten minutes after searing!

  • Heat oven to 200c.
  • Sauté pepper, onion and garlic with olive oil for about 5 minutes
  • In a hot pan/skillet with butter and olive oil, sear the chicken breast until golden on both sides; add an odd teaspoon of the chicken stock mix broth when nice and crisping for each side
  • When the chicken is nearly happily browned, add the mushrooms to the skillet/pan until just cooked
  • In an oven proof dish mix the tinned tomatoes, tomato purée, red wine vinegar, pesto, a fair few grindings of salt, the rest of the chicken stock mix broth, and the vegetables.
  • Add chicken, cover in sauce mix Top with torn mozzarella, breadcrumbs and parmesan, bake in oven for 25 minutes until the top is crunchy and golden.
