Ingredients

2tbsp balsamic glaze

1tbsp thyme, leaves picked

1tsp clear honey

4 Butcher’s Selection British Chicken Breast Fillets

4 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

8 leaves basil

420g Asda Chunky Mediterranean Vegetables

225g Grower’s Selection Vine Ripened Cherry Tomatoes, left on the vine

1tbsp freshly shaved Parmesan

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
2
Make a marinade – mix together the balsamic glaze, thyme and honey, then season with black pepper.
3
Cut a ‘pocket’ into the side of each chicken breast, taking care not to cut the whole way through. Stuff with the sun-dried tomatoes and basil.
4
Scatter the Mediterranean veg in a baking tray, drizzle with half the marinade and toss to coat. Arrange the chicken on top with the ‘pockets’ facing upwards. Brush with the remaining marinade.
5
Cook in the oven for 30-40 mins until the veg is roasted and the chicken is cooked through. Around 20-30 mins in, add the cherry tomatoes. Top with Parmesan to serve.
