Firstly "MOZZARELLA CHICKEN" (from 'No Time to Cook' by Donna Hay, p140).
I'll paraphrase.
Ingredients
- pitted olives
- cherry tomatoes
- olive oil
- chicken breasts
- mozzarella
- basil leaves
- pancetta (or ham or bacon)
Method
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees celcius.
- Line a tray with baking paper and sprinkle on a good handful of pitted olives and a punnet of halved cherry tomatoes.
- Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 10 mins.
- In the meantime cut 2 chicken breasts in half lengthways, and top each with a slice of mozzarella and a couple of basil leaves. Then I usually don't have pancetta (which is in the recipe), so I sort of 'drape' the chicken piece with a slice of ham or bacon.
- Then just place the chicken pieces on top of the tomatoes and olives and back in the oven for 18 mins.
- Serve on top of green leaves.
Honestly, this looks great and tastes like a restaurant meal. And it's ready in 30 mins and there's only one tray to wash up.
Delicious.
The other recipe I have to share is for my "BBBBLT" (below).
It's simply a salad of:- Bacon
- Basil Leaves
- Boccocini (I used baby boccocini because it was on special)
- Balsamic Vinegar
- Lettuce
- Tomato
Divine. I've had it three times in two days. Hope you like it too.
That top recipe looks VERY me, yum! Sadly no-one else in my family would touch it, but I don't intend to miss out on their account...
ReplyDeleteThe second also looks good, but what is boccocini?
It does look devine! I could have that for breakfast this morn - yummy. Inspired to go and look at her cook-books again :)
ReplyDeleteI think your photos look great Anna! certainly didn't put me off ... that mozzarella chicken looks YUM.
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious .. anything with basil is always special. Thanks x
ReplyDeleteWe had the chicken last night!!! Yum! Had to substitute basil for rocket but the melty Bocconcini was the winning ingredient. At the end of a looong day, the one tray clean up was the best bit of all!
