Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cheese Mixture and Chicken
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan) or Gas Mark 7.
- In a bowl, mix the chopped olives or sundried tomatoes, crushed garlic, and most of the dried herbs into the soft cheese. Season with a bit of salt and pepper.
- Cut a slit along the side of each chicken breast to create a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 2: Stuff and Assemble
- Spoon a quarter of the cheese mixture into each chicken breast pocket, then press the sides together to seal.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts on a greased baking tray.
- Arrange the tomato slices on top of each chicken breast, overlapping slightly.
- Season the tomatoes and chicken with a bit more salt, pepper, and the remaining herbs. Drizzle with olive oil.
Step 3: Roast and Serve
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is golden around the edges and the tomatoes look slightly shriveled.
- Serve hot with a crisp green salad for a fresh and satisfying meal.
FAQs
Can I use low-fat cheese instead of full-fat soft cheese?
Yes, you can use low-fat cheese if you prefer a lighter option. Keep in mind that it might be a bit less creamy, but it will still work well.
Can I use other vegetables instead of tomatoes?
Certainly! You can substitute the tomatoes with other vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms. Just slice them thinly and adjust the cooking time as needed.
