ONE DISH ROASTED CHICKEN, CHERRY TOMATOES & OLIVES

Such a simple fuss-free dinner idea. Throw it all in the dish and get it cooking!! Flavours are great, no mess in the kitchen, it’s a real winner!!!

Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 250g cherry tomatoes (punnet)

• 1/3 cup olives (any type you like)

• Handful of fresh basil leaves

• 1 tsp minced garlic (or 1 clove of garlic)

• 1 tbsp extra Virgin olive oil

• Pinch of sea salt

• Black pepper

• 6 chicken tenderloins

• 1 tbsp extra Virgin olive oil

• 1 tbsp lemon herb dried herbs

• 2 tbsp panko bread crumbs

• 1/2 cup parmesan, grated

• 2 tbsp parsley OR basil, roughly chopped.

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

2. In a small/medium roasting dish, add the cherry tomatoes, olives, basil, minced garlic, and olive oil and season really well.

3. In a small bowl mix together the grated Parmesan and chopped basil or parsley.

4. Lay the chicken tenderloins on top of the tomato mix. Drizzle over the olive oil. Then sprinkle over the lemon & herb seasoning, followed by the panko breadcrumbs and finish with the parmesan/basil topping.

5. Roast in the oven for 20 mins. The chicken should need any longer than this (trust me)!!

You can serve this dish with rice, pasta, cous cous, zoodles, roasted vegetables or just on its own.
