Ingredients
- 500 g (1.1 lb) chicken breast fillets
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 100 g (3.5 oz) grated cheese
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Fresh herbs, chopped
- Salt, pepper and spices to taste
- Oil for the dish
Instructions
- Oil a baking dish and lay in the chicken fillets; season with salt and spices. Layer the onion, tomatoes and bell pepper on top.
- Mix the herbs, garlic, grated cheese and sour cream; spread evenly over the vegetables. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30 minutes.
Tips
- Slice the vegetables evenly so they cook at the same rate as the chicken.
- For a deeper golden crust, switch on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely; similar baked chicken guides are available at Allrecipes.
- Rest the bake for 5 minutes before slicing so the cheese topping sets.
