I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup tomato sauce

2 tsps minced garlic

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 tsp oregano, divided 

1/2 tsp basil, divided

1 tsp olive oil

1/8 tsp red pepper flakes

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

fresh basil leaves to garnish

Mix the cherry tomatoes, chopped onion, tomato sauce, minced garlic, salt, pepper, 1/4 tsp oregano and 1/4 tsp basil together in a 1.8L baking dish.

Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels then brush with olive oil and nestle into the tomato mixture. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 tsp each of oregano and basil. Add the red pepper flakes and bake at 400°F for 20 minutes. Top with mozzarella, and more oregano and basil if you like, and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes. The internal temperature should read 165°F.

Garnish with fresh basil and serve with parmesan cheese if desired.
