Sear them to a lovely brown and then remove them. In the same pan, garlic, anchovies (not absolutely necessary) capers and chili flakes are saut\u00e9ed up in the remaining oil. &nbsp;Add in some cherry tomatoes and basil and cook, breaking up the tomatoes to create a simple sauce. &nbsp;The chicken is returned to the skillet, and placed into a 400F oven to cook for 30 minutes. &nbsp;Then bocconcini get scattered over the chicken and the whole kit &#8216;n caboodle is placed under the broiler till the cheese is all bubbling.<\/p>\n<p>So, that&#8217;s the recipe. &nbsp;Now, Melissa suggests serving this with a side of green veggies or a salad and some crusty bread. But I couldn&#8217;t leave well enough alone. &nbsp; I mean, all that cheese on top of that chicken. &nbsp;Surely it isn&#8217;t a stretch to see a modified Chicken Parm here, right? &nbsp;So I thought, serve it over spaghetti. &nbsp;There are some amazing juices in the pan just begging to be poured over a grateful pasta. &nbsp;So this is how I am suggesting you serve it. &nbsp;Of course, a side salad and garlic bread would still be welcome additions, in just about anyone&#8217;s estimation.<\/p>\n<p>This is a perfect meal on these cold winter days, but works equally well once the weather warms up a little. It really isn&#8217;t that heavy. &nbsp;But it is packed with flavour. &nbsp;And you can never have too many chicken recipe options. &nbsp;Keep warm, and eat tasty!<\/p>\n<p>Love Jen<\/p>\n<p><img
