How to make Sheet pan chicken with tomatoes and mozzarella

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C).

2. Toss the tomatoes, oil, vinegar, garlic, 1 tablespoon of oregano, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a large rimmed baking tray.

3. If using skinless, boneless chicken breasts, slice them into 4 cutlets by holding the knife parallel to the board and cutting through the breast along the long side to make 2 pieces.

4. Season the chicken on all sides with pepper, the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of oregano. Nestle the chicken into the tomato mixture.

5. Roast in the oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the chicken is almost fully cooked and the tomatoes are starting to burst.

6. Arrange the mozzarella rounds over the chicken and tomatoes. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 2–4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is fully cooked.

7. Top with onion and peperoncini before serving.
