Serves 4

Total Time 25 mins

Ingredients

Chopped olives or sundried tomatoes	2 tbsp
Garlic clove, crushed	1
Dried mixed herbs	½ tsp
Full-fat soft cheese	200g
Plump boneless, skinless chicken breasts	4
Ripe tomatoes, sliced	4
Olive oil	3 tbsp

Cooking Method

Step 01	Heat oven to 220°C.
Step 02	Beat the olives or sundried tomatoes, garlic and almost all the herbs into the cheese.
Step 03	Cut a slit along the side of each chicken breast, then use your knife to open it out into a pocket.
Step 04	Stuff each chicken breast with a quarter of the cheese mix, then press to close. Lift onto a greased baking tray.
Step 05	Season the top of the chicken, then place tomato slices over the top of each piece of chicken. Season, then top with the remaining herbs. Drizzle with some olive oil.
Step 06	Roast until the chicken is golden around the edges, and the tomatoes look a little shrivelled.

You may serve this dish with a green salad and crusty bread to mop up the juices.
