Why this works

High-protein, moderately high in saturated fat and energy, with relatively low carbohydrate content.

Lean protein from chicken. Chicken breast provides a substantial amount of complete protein, supporting muscle maintenance and satiety.

Calcium and B vitamins. Cheese, yoghurt and milk contribute calcium, while chicken and dairy provide B vitamins such as B12 and riboflavin.

Saturated fat concern. Butter and cheese raise the saturated fat content, so portions matter if aiming to support heart health.

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C (Fan 180°C, 392°F, Gas Mark 6).
Season the chicken breast and brown it in a little butter in a frying pan for 2–3 minutes on each side.
Arrange the tomatoes in a baking dish and nestle the chicken on top.
Mix Greek yoghurt with a splash of milk, then spoon over the chicken and tomatoes.
Scatter over the cheese and bake for 25–30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is bubbling.
Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
