Ingredients
- 400 g chicken breast sliced into bite-sized chunks
- 280 g cream cheese
- 200 g feta cheese
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lemon zest
- 200 ml chicken broth
For the tomato basil topping
- 250 g cherry tomatoes roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 5 g basil finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Place your oven-proof pan on medium heat and drizzle in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add in the chopped chicken and fry for 5 minutes, turning frequently to lightly sear the chicken pieces. Preheat the oven to 200C fan /425F.
- Meanwhile, make your creamy bruschetta sauce by adding cream cheese, feta cheese, olive oil, zest of a lemon, salt, and pepper to a food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Once the chicken is sealed and beginning to brown slightly, add in 200ml chicken stock and the creamy feta sauce. Give everything a good mix.
- Once combined, place the dish in the oven for 15 minutes until bubbling.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine your chopped cherry tomatoes, chopped basil, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix and set aside.
- Once your sauce is bubbling and the chicken is cooked, remove from the oven and top with the tomato basil mixture. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, top with more basil, and enjoy!
