Chicken breast provides a lean, high-quality protein source to support muscle repair, energy, and satisfaction, while a drizzle of olive oil adds heart-healthy fats and brings everything together with a rich, smooth finish. A touch of Herbes de Provence—a fragrant mix of herbs like thyme, rosemary, and oregano—adds a savory depth that elevates the whole meal without requiring extra effort.
This dish comes together easily and bakes in under 20 minutes, making it a practical choice for anyone seeking a balanced, flavorful dinner that celebrates real, nourishing food.
Recipe
Serves 2
10.6 oz. cherry tomatoes
1 red onion, sliced
2 tbsp. olive oil, divided
1 tsp. Herbes de Provence, divided
sea salt & black pepper, to taste
12 oz. chicken breast, halved lengthwise
How to Prepare
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
In an ovenproof baking dish, combine the cherry tomatoes, red onion, half the olive oil and half the Herbes de Provence. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Brush the chicken breasts with the remaining olive oil and season with the remaining Herbes de Provence, salt and pepper. Nestle the chicken breasts into the vegetables in the dish.
Place the dish into the hot oven to bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the tomatoes are beginning to blacken and release their juices. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
