Baked Tomato Chicken Breast Towers on Toast

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breast fillets (skinless, about 140 g each)
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 heirloom tomatoes
• 4 slices Gouda cheese
• Salt
• black pepper (freshly ground)
• 4 slices toast bread
• 4 large leaves of salad (e.g., oak leaf lettuce)
• 40 g herb butter

Instructions

1. 1.

   Preheat the oven to 200°C with upper and lower heat.

2. 2.

   Wash, dry, and pat the chicken breasts. In a hot pan, brown each side for about 4 minutes in oil. Wash the tomatoes, cut off stems, and slice into ~1 cm thick rounds. Place half the tomato slices on parchment paper on a baking sheet. Slice the chicken breasts and layer them with the remaining tomato slices and cheese alternately over the tomato base to build towers. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 8 minutes until melted.

3. 3.

   While the towers bake, toast the bread slices until golden brown and roughly tear the salad leaves. Spread herb butter on the toasted bread and top with the salad and baked chicken‑tomato towers.
