Method

  • step 1

    Prepare the chicken. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Slice the breasts in half through the middle so you have two thinner pieces (so they will cook quicker). Lightly oil a shallow baking dish, one that is big enough for the chicken to fit easily in a single layer. Lay the chicken in the dish. Mix the cheddar, mustard and milk in a little bowl, then pile the mixture on top of each piece of chicken. There’s no need to smooth it out.

  • step 2

    Put it in the oven. Throw the tomatoes, still on the vine, all round the chicken, then cook for 20-30 minutes until the chicken is golden and the tomatoes squashy.

  • step 3

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

question

I have tried making this a few times but I find that I end up with a nasty watery liquid rather than a sauce although the chicken is moist and tender. Where am I going wrong please?

Remove the chicken and reduce the sauce, works really well!

What would be the best way to reheat this receipes. I cook for one and would like to double it?

Hi, thanks for your question. This isn't the best dish for reheating as it contains a lot of melted cheese which might go rubbery on reheating. Ideally we'd recommend assembling the second portion in a separate dish without cooking it, and then it can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days so it's…

This went down well when served up this week. I followed the recipe apart from reducing the milk and adding natural yoghurt. Very easy, very tasty and I will certainly make again.

I really didn't like this, even though I do like all the ingredients separately. Chicken and cheese together? Not for me.
