TOMATO BASIL ROASTED CHICKEN
I only had a few ingredients in my fridge, and this recipe came to mind. However, it turned out pretty awesome and very Italian. I found that the cheese and tomatoes on top keep the meat very tender and moist. And the roasted tomatoes, mmmmm. Also, I suggest serving it with some roasted cauliflower.

How to Make Basil Chicken with Roasted Tomatoes
- For the best flavor, use fresh basil leaves. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but it will not be as flavorful. - Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for roasting. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are firm and hold their shape well. - To prevent the tomatoes from sticking to the pan, toss them with a little olive oil before roasting. - Roast the tomatoes at a high temperature so that they caramelize and develop a sweet, smoky flavor. - Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Cook it until it is cooked through but still juicy. - Serve the chicken and tomatoes over rice or pasta.Conclusion
