Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 4 tomatoes, sliced
- 12 fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon oregano or wild thyme
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of white pepper
- A mixture of vegetable oil and butter

Method
- Sprinkle salt and spices over the chicken breasts, then use a knife to cut 4 or 5 diagonal slits across each breast.
- Insert a slice of tomato into each slit, along with crushed garlic and fresh basil leaves. Brush the chicken breasts with oil and sprinkle dried oregano over them, then arrange the pieces in an ovenproof glass dish containing the chopped tomatoes mixed with salt and oregano.
