Ingredients

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound / 450 g total)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups cherry tomatoes (about 450 g)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons herbes de Provence
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create two thinner fillets and pound lightly to even thickness.
  3. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, brown sugar, paprika, herbes de Provence, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken evenly.
  4. In another bowl, toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, herbes de Provence, salt, and brown sugar.
  5. Arrange chicken in a single layer in the baking dish and scatter tomatoes around and between the fillets.
  6. Bake for 12–14 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and tomatoes are softened and slightly blistered.
  7. Spoon roasted tomato juices over chicken and sprinkle with chopped parsley and grated parmesan before serving.

Notes

  • Filleting ensures quick and even cooking.
  • Use a thermometer to avoid overcooking.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently and spoon juices over chicken to retain moisture.
  • Omit parmesan for a dairy-free option.
