Ingredients

• 360g Field & Flower Chicken Breasts
• 160g cherry tomatoes, halved
• 75g buffalo mozzarella
• 2 tbsp pesto
• 1 clove garlic, finely diced
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp honey
• Sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180C. Combine the chopped tomatoes, garlic, vinegar, honey, olive oil and seasoning in a roasting tin and mix well.

2. Cut a slice in the middle of each chicken breast, making sure not to cut the whole way through. Stuff each breast with a tablespoon of pesto.

3. Nestle the chicken amongst the tomatoes, top with torn mozzarella and bake in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

4. Serve with new potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the juices.
