Chicken with cheesy tomatoes recipe

Tender chicken breast paired with fresh watercress, juicy plum tomatoes stuffed with rich Gorgonzola cheese.

It takes just five steps to make this mouthwatering dish. This recipe serves four and takes 20 minutes to cook.

Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts, skinned and lightly batted out
• 15g buttery spread
• Large handful of watercress, picked and lightly rinsed
• Pinch of sea salt
• Twist of black pepper
• 1tbsp olive oil for drizzling
• 6 plum tomatoes, halved lengthways
• 80g Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

Method

1. Brush the chicken breast liberally with buttery spread. Season lightly with salt and pepper and char grill on a hot griddle or in a frying pan for 3-4 mins on each side until cooked.
2. Meanwhile, place the tomato halves, cut side up on an oiled and seasoned baking tray. Season each with a sprinkling of salt flakes and twist of black pepper. Brush with a little buttery spread and place under a pre-heated grill. Cook for 5-6 mins until beginning to soften.
3. Sprinkle the crumbled Gorgonzola over the tomatoes and return beneath the grill. As the cheese warms it will begin to melt and bubble over the tomatoes.
4. Place the grilled chicken breasts in the centre of the plate and carefully arrange the grilled, softened gorgonzola tomato halves either on the plate or onto the chicken.
5. Scatter the picked watercress salad across the top and drizzle with olive oil.
