Ingredients
- 250g cherry tomatoes, halved

- 75g olives
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 slices mozzarella, I recommend Toon Bridge from Cork

Method
- Start by preheating the oven to 200 degrees. Place the tomatoes and olives in a roasting tray, then drizzle with olive oil and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Next, slice the chicken breast lengthways and place the mozzarella and two of the basil leaves inside the cut. To finish, wrap with bacon.
- Now, place the chicken on top of the tomatoes and bake for a further 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
