Almost Jamie's Tray BakedChicken

This recipe iI found in a new cook-book of mine Jamie Oliver's Meals in Minutes. I omitted the slices of bacon and the butter in the recipe but except for that it's pretty much the same.

Ingredients;

Dried oregano
Sweet paprika (I use Hungarian)
4x6 ounce chicken breast (the recipe called for skinless but since I'm not using bacon on the top I used chicken breast with skin and that was perfectly fine...)
1 lemon
2 ounce cherry tomatoes
a couple of sprigs of rosemary

Turn the heat on under an empty frying pan to high and add some olive oil. Sprinkle a good pinch of dried oregano, salt&pepper and paprika and drizzle over some olive oil on a large piece of parchment paper. Lay the chicken breasts on the parchment paper and roll them making sure they are covered with the spices.



Add to the hot pan and fry for 4 to 5 minutes until golden on both sides.



In a roasting pan add lemon in quarters along with the tomatoes. Tip in the chicken breasts and any juices from the pan. Arrange nicely. Put the rosemary sprigs in the frying pan on medium heat and move them around until they are covered in the remaining juices. Pop them into the roasting pan with the chickens and bake in the oven under the broiler on medium setting (use your ovens setting chart since different ovens seems to differ a lot) for 25 minutes or until chicken is completely cooked but not dry.
Eat with a salad or my Vegetable Gratin, rice or pasta.



Enjoy!
