Instructions
Marinate the Chicken

- Arrange the marinated chicken breasts on top of the tomato mixture.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the chicken and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- During the last minute of baking, sprinkle the mozzarella and Amul cheese (if using) over the chicken and tomatoes.
Serve
