I saw this recipe on the Good Food website and as it was one of their more popular recipes last year I thought it would be worth a try and boy was I right it was delicious. I did alter a couple of things and when I worked it out it was surprisingly low calorie at about 200kcal per portion.
- 1 onion , finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves , crushed
- olive oil
- 2 x 400g tins cherry tomatoes - I used 1 tin of cherry tomatoes and 1 tin of chopped
- 4 tbsp mascarpone - I used low fat cream cheese
- a handful basil
- 6 chicken breasts , skin on - I used 4 breasts with no skin on
- Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Fry the onion and garlic in 3 tbsp oil (I used 1tbsp) until softened but not coloured. Add the tomatoes, season, then simmer for 10-15 minutes or until thick and glossy. Take off the heat and stir in the mascarpone and half the basil, roughly torn.
- Heat a little oil in a pan and fry the chicken on both sides until golden. Transfer to a baking dish and pour over the sauce. Cook for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Scatter over the rest of the basil.
