Provencal Vegetable Bake with Herbs (French Ratatouille)
Slow-roasted chicken breast and sliced summer vegetables are baked in a fragrant tomato-herb sauce until the flavors meld into a silky, savory masterpiece.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup zucchini
0.5 cup eggplant
0.5 cup red bell pepper
0.5 cup tomato puree
0.25 cup chickpeas
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp herbes de provence
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare a large oven-safe baking dish or cast iron skillet.
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.
In the baking dish, combine the sliced zucchini, eggplant, red bell pepper, and chickpeas, then toss with the olive oil and minced garlic until well coated.
Nestle the seasoned chicken breast into the center of the vegetable mixture so it is partially submerged.
Evenly pour the tomato puree over the vegetables and chicken, then sprinkle the Herbes de Provence across the entire dish.
Cover the dish tightly with a lid or parchment paper and bake for 25 minutes to lock in the moisture.
Remove the cover and continue baking for another 5 to 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with the fresh basil before serving.
