Oven-Baked Chicken and Slow-Roasted Tomatoes on a Baguette

This sophisticated chicken and slow-roasted tomato baguette offers a wonderful balance of textures and deep, Mediterranean flavours. The recipe features tender chicken cutlets marinated in yoghurt before being coated in a savoury Parmesan, lemon, and rosemary crust. When paired with vine-ripened tomatoes that have been slowly concentrated in the oven, it creates a sandwich that is miles ahead of any shop-bought alternative.

As a high-protein dish, this meal is ideal for those looking for a satisfying lunch or a light dinner that provides lasting energy. The inclusion of fresh baby rocket adds a peppery bite that cuts through the richness of the breaded chicken. While the tomatoes require some patience to roast, they can easily be prepared a day in advance to simplify your meal preparation.

How to make Oven-Baked Chicken and Slow-Roasted Tomatoes on a Baguette

Preheat oven to 93°C. Place the tomatoes, cut side up, on a baking sheet lined with nonstick foil. Season with the salt and pepper, drizzle with 45ml of the oil, and bake 6 to 8 hours. Remove and let cool. (Or use a handful of sun-dried tomatoes.) Meanwhile, place the chicken and yoghurt in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Preheat oven to 218°C. In a shallow pan, combine the bread crumbs, zest, rosemary, Parmesan, the remaining oil, and more salt and pepper. Remove the cutlets, shaking off any excess yoghurt, and press them firmly into the bread-crumb mixture. Transfer to a pan lined with nonstick foil and bake until browned and firm, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and let cool, then assemble as shown.
