- Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. To make the sauce, put the red peppers on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and cook for 20-25 minutes. Cool slightly, peel, chop and put in a pan with the tomatoes and a splash of water. Simmer for 20 minutes. Add the stock cube and sugar and season well. Blend to a smooth sauce in a food processor.
- Make a slit down 1 side of each chicken breast to form a pocket. Season. Stuff each pocket with slices of mozzarella, 4 cherry tomato halves and a quarter of the basil. Wrap each chicken breast with 2 pieces of ham and season. Put on a baking sheet and cook for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.
- Serve with the red pepper sauce and seasonal vegetables such as steamed carrots and broccoli or roasted courgette and red peppers.
