Tomato and garlic chicken

Serves:

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 punnet (200g) cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tsp finely chopped fresh oregano
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 2-3 tbsp water
• 300g green beans, trimmed
• 4 small chicken breasts (about 120g-130g each), sliced lengthways to make 2 steaks
• oil spray

Method

Heat a small saucepan on medium-low and add oil, garlic, cherry tomatoes, oregano, sugar and water.

Cover and bring to a simmer before reducing the heat and cooking until tomatoes begin to breakdown a little. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.

While tomato sauce is cooking, steam green beans until tender (about 3-5 minutes).

Bring a non-stick frying pan to a medium-high heat, spray lightly with oil and add chicken steaks.

Cook chicken for 3 minutes, turn and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Remove chicken from the heat and rest on a board for a couple of minutes.

Serve chicken on beans and top with tomato sauce.

Serving Suggestions

Note

• If you don’t have cherry tomatoes in the house, just use 200 grams of chopped tomatoes. You can also replace the beans with any green vegetable you’ve got in the fridge.
• Slicing each chicken breast lengthways to make two thin steaks ensures the chicken cooks quickly and remains moist and tender.
