Method

Step 1

Put the onion, pepper and garlic in a small non-stick saucepan. Spray with a couple of pumps of low-calorie cooking spray and cook for a few minutes until softened. Stir in the fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes, tomato purée and oregano and simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 220°C/fan 200°C/gas 7.

Step 3

Cut the chicken breast in half horizontally, being careful not to cut it all the way through. Fold it open to create a butterfly shape.

Step 4

Spray a non-stick frying pan with a couple of pumps of low-calorie cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides. Put the chicken on a non-stick baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through and no pink flesh is visible (the juices should run clear when you insert a skewer into the thickest part of the chicken).

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the oven and spread the tomato mixture on top. Sprinkle over the cheese and put the cherry tomato on top. Cook for a further 5 minutes, until the cheese melts.
