Recipe: Chicken Rarebit

This is one of my favourite recipes at the moment, its suitable for a mid-week meal, it has only a few ingredients, oh and its full of calcium (er...well cheese anyway):

Chicken Rarebits (serves 4)

Ingredients:
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
olive oil, for greasing
140g coarsely grated cheddar
1 heaped tbsp wholegrain mustard
3 tbsps milk
150g cherry tomatoes, on the vine
brocolli and new potatoes, to serve

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 200 C. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally so you have two thinner pieces that will cook quicker. Lightly oil a shallow baking dish and arrange the chicken in it in a single layer. Mix the cheese, mustard and milk together, then pile the mixture on top of each piece of chicken.

2. Place the tomatoes all round the chicken. Cook for 20-30 minutes until the chicken is golden and the tomatoes are squishy.

3. Serve with the brocolli and new potatoes. Suggest to everyone that they squash the tomatoes on their plates to blend into the cheesy sauce.

Variations:

- Any old tomatoes are fine if you don't have cherry vine ones.
- I prefer to use an oil spray rather than actual oil
- Brocolli and new potatoes are not mandatory, I always just eat a pile of whatever veg is lying around with them!

Enjoy
