Preparation
Preheat your oven to 180°C and lightly grease a large baking sheet with oil.
Season the chicken breast slices generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Arrange the seasoned chicken on the prepared baking sheet alongside the fresh vegetables: broccoli florets, sliced carrots, zucchini, and red pepper.
Drizzle the remaining vegetable oil over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring everything is lightly coated.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the tomato sauce: heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, approximately 1 minute.
Add American Garden Diced Tomatoes and simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in American Garden Ketchup and season with salt, Black Pepper, and ground cinnamon. Remove from heat.
To serve, place chicken slices in serving dishes, add few grilled vegetables and fried potatoes, then generously pour the warm tomato sauce over everything.
Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor experience.
What Makes Baked Chicken with Tomato Sauce Perfect?
To get the best results, be sure to give each piece of chicken and vegetable enough space on the baking sheet for even caramelization. The cinnamon in the sauce should be subtle – just enough to add warmth and depth without overwhelming the tomato flavors. Let the garlic cook until fragrant but not brown, as burnt garlic will make your sauce bitter.
How to Store Baked Chicken with Tomato Sauce?
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat gently in a 160°C oven to maintain the chicken’s tenderness and the vegetables’ texture. The sauce can be made ahead and stored separately for up to 5 days – it tastes even better the next day as the flavors have more time to develop and marry together.
