Ingredients

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut a slit in the side of each chicken breast, then use your finger to make a pocket. In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta, half the lemon zest, Parmesan, capers, chilli flakes and some seasoning. Push the mixture into the pockets, then secure each opening with a toothpick.

  • STEP 2

    Put the chicken in an ovenproof dish, drizzle over 1 tbsp of the oil and season. Bake for 15-20 mins until cooked through.

  • STEP 3

    Meanwhile, make the sauce. Heat the remaining oil in a saucepan, add the garlic and cook for 2 mins until golden. Add the tomatoes, season and simmer for 10 mins more until thickened. Spoon onto 2 plates, top with the chicken and scatter over the parsley and remaining zest. Serve with potatoes, if you like.
