Cheesy goodness of Tomato and Mozzarella Hasselback Chicken – this is one chicken dish you just have to try.
I had some chicken breasts to use up for dinner and I wasn’t quite sure what to do with them, I must admit I prefer to use chicken thigh’s or a whole chicken, I just find they are better in dishes like casseroles, curries, or baked etc as breast meat tends to overcook very easily.
However I had no healthy extra b choice leftover and so I figured this would work really well with the chicken breast, if I sliced it just like these yummy Garlic Hasselback potatoes, and stuffed it with tomato slices and mozzarella.
I had recently been enjoying using up my healthy extras on Ryvita’s placed under the grill with some cheese and tomato slices until the cheese melts – so good!!
I’m always on the look out for new and interesting ways to cook chicken! It’s one of the most versatile ingredients in the world, but just eating it on its own can get a little boring. That’s why recipes like this Syn Free Hasselback Chicken is a god send when planning my meals. It’s just more proof that you don’t need to settle for boring when cooking healthy, family friendly meals!
