BAKED GARLIC CHICKEN

BAKED GARLIC CHICKEN

Serves 4

3 Syns for the whole recipe, if using breadcrumbs and cheese as part HEX's

8 skinless chicken thigh fillets (could use 4 breasts but thighs have more taste)
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
3 tbsp. fresh breadcrumbs
1 tbsp. fresh thyme, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
12g sesame seeds - 3 Syns
2 tbsp. mature, grated Cheddar
150ml chicken stock

Pre-heat the oven to 190C/Gas 5.
Season the chicken pieces.
Spray a large non-stick frying pan well with Frylight and cook the chicken on both sides until golden.
Place in a Frylight sprayed shallow baking dish.
Dot the tomato halves around the chicken pieces.
Mix the breadcrumbs, garlic, thyme, sesame seeds, Cheddar and seasoning together.
Pour in the stock, then scatter the topping over.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the topping is golden and crisp and the chicken thoroughly cooked through.

Great with a jacket potato and salad. Of course, if you want it Syn Free, you can just omit the sesame seeds, although, I have to say, they do add an amazing flavour!
