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.
