Ingredients
- Red Pepper: 2 red peppers, deseeded and cut into chunks
- Chicken Breast: 4 skin-on chicken breasts
- Cherry Tomato: 200g pack cherry tomatoes
- Olive Oil: 2 tsp olive oil
- Red Onion: 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- Black Olive: handful black olives
- Soft Cheese: 1/2 x 150g pack full-fat garlic & herb soft cheese
Directions
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the peppers and onion on a big baking tray with half the oil. Transfer to the oven and cook on the top shelf for 10 mins.
- Meanwhile, carefully make a pocket between the skin and the flesh of each chicken breast, but don't pull off the skin completely. Push equal amounts of cheese under the skin, smooth the skin back down, brush it with the rest of the oil, season, then add to the tray along with the tomatoes and olives. Return to the oven and cook for 25-30 mins more until the chicken is golden and cooked. Serve with baked potatoes, if you like.
