Ingredients
- 600 g chicken breast fillet
- 125 g mozzarella cheese
- 1 head red onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 can chopped tomatoes (400 g)
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 1 handful fresh basil
- 400 g whole wheat spaghetti (for serving)
Steps
- 1Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
- 2Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a non-stick pan, quickly sear both sides of the chicken in a little oil, then remove and set aside.
- 3In the same pan, sauté the finely chopped red onion and crushed garlic until translucent. Add the tomato paste, canned chopped tomatoes, and chopped basil. Bring the sauce to a boil, season with salt and pepper, then return the chicken breasts to the pan.
- 4Place the pan (or transfer its contents to an ovenproof dish) into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat. In the last 5 minutes, place the sliced mozzarella on top of the chicken pieces and bake until the cheese is melted. Serve with cooked whole wheat spaghetti.
