Oven Baked Chicken with Italian Seasoned Tomato Sauce

Gadget Lady

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.

2 Skinless, boneless chicken breasts, about 400 g
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 tbsp Olive oil
400 g Pureed tomato
100 ml Chicken broth
60 ml Fresh cream
1 clove Garlic, peeled and pressed
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
50 g Black olives, halved
Italian parsley, chopped

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.
