Baked Chicken Breast with Mozzarella in Tomato Sauce

Preparation

• 1
  Preheat the oven to 200 °C top/bottom heat.

  Season the chicken breast fillets with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tsp rapeseed oil in a coated pan and sear the meat on both sides, then remove and set aside.

  Add a little more oil to the pan and sauté the finely diced onion and chopped garlic until translucent. Briefly roast the tomato paste, then add the chopped tomatoes and coarsely chopped basil. Let the sauce simmer briefly and season with salt and pepper.

  Return the chicken breast fillets to the pan (or an ovenproof dish) into the sauce. Cook in the preheated oven for approx. 15–20 minutes (depending on the thickness of the meat).

  Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat spaghetti al dente in plenty of salted water according to package instructions.

  About 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time, spread the sliced mozzarella over the meat and let it melt. Serve with the pasta.
