Italian Chicken with Roasted Tomatoes

This easy and flavorful baked chicken dish brings together zesty lemon, savory garlic, and juicy tomatoes for a comforting meal, all made in one pan.

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp (45 mL) fresh lemon juice

• 8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

• ¼ cup (60 mL) olive oil

• 1 tbsp (15 mL) + 1 tsp (5 mL) Italian Seasoning Mix

• ½ tsp (2 mL) salt

• 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (5–6 oz/150–175 g each)

• 4 cups (1 L) grape tomatoes (about 2 containers)

• ¾ cup (175 mL) Italian-seasoned croutons, crushed

• 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Baking Dish:
   In a Stone Rectangular Baker, combine the lemon juice, garlic slices, olive oil, Italian seasoning, and salt. Stir well to mix.

3. Assemble the Dish:
   Place the chicken breasts in the baker. Arrange the grape tomatoes around the chicken. Evenly sprinkle the crushed croutons on top of the chicken.

4. Bake:
   Bake the dish uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Once done, remove the chicken and keep it warm.

5. Finish the Sauce:
   Add the butter to the tomato mixture in the baker. Use the Salad Chopper to carefully chop the tomatoes into coarse pieces, creating a rustic sauce.

6. Serve:
   Return the chicken to the baker and serve warm with the tomato mixture spooned on top.
