Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts skin on
- 80 ml olive oil
- 80 ml balsamic vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic peeled and sliced
- 1 punnet cherry tomatoes on the vine
- 1 packet basil leaves torn roughly
- salt & pepper
Instructions
-
Marinate the chicken in a shallow dish with the olive oil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, pepper and salt
-
Leave to marinate for about 30 minutes but if you can't then give it 5 minutes, the flavour will just be less intense
-
To cook the chicken, place it on a a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Pour over the remaining marinade and throw over the cherry tomatoes - these will break down & make a sort of sauce
-
Cook for 20 minutes then check the meat as a small breast will cook in that time but an extra 5 minutes may be needed depending on your oven
-
When it comes out of the oven tear up the basil and distribute it over the chicken and the cherry tomatoes
