This effortless meal from the oven features chicken breasts baked in an Italian-seasoned tomato sauce and it came out super moist, tender and it's on the table in just 30 minutes. It is high in protein and low in fat, but fabulous in flavour.
|
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Brush a baking pan with olive oil.
- Open up the chicken breasts on a flat surface and slice each down the center to provide 2 portions. Trim off and discard membranes and fat. Pound each chicken breast half lightly with a flat mallet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the prepared baking pan.
- Combine together the pureed tomato, chicken broth, cream, pressed garlic, Italian seasoning, black olives and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle the chicken with some shredded mozzarella cheese if desired and some more fresh parsley.

Wow Angie! This baked chicken in tomato ocean looks absolutely delicious. I can imagine the awesome flavors!

Nice dish for fall, Angie. Healthy and delicious...like the black olives in there!
Looks so heavenly. I'll add some chillies for an Asian touch.
Low in fat with a big flavor - the perfect meal! Love tender chicken and anything tomato - sounds wonderful Angie and it looks fantastic :)
Fast and tasty, what could be better? We'd probably serve that with rice at our house to soak up the sauce.
I like that, high in protein, low in fat but fab in flavour. Nice, attractive clicks!
Chicken dish this flavorful will be on our table even less than 30 minutes. It looks really easy to make. :)
i think this is the most normal list of ingredients i've ever seen on one of your posts, not that that's a bad thing! this is a delicious dish. :)
This looks wonderful. I could see if you wanted this to go further, simply shredding the chicken in the tomato broth and serving it as a chicken tomato soup. I love recipes like this especially when time is of the essence. Simple and delicious!

Almost like tomato soup with chicken! I'm a lover of both, Angie! Easy and sweet and perfect for a simple evening!
Love a quick meal that sounds so delicious. And I am trying to have more protein in general. Will keep this one for colder weather, to hot to turn on the oven now lol.
