Servings: persons

2 chicken breasts
1 (8 ounce) package halloumi cheese
36 cherry tomatoes
4 large basil leaves
2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
2 teaspoons pepper (or to taste)
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves
handful basil leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 a lemon

1
Preheat your oven to 350 F / 175 C.
2
Turn the block of halloumi on its side and cut it into three to four even slices. Set aside. Pour the olive oil, salt, and pepper into a large plastic bag. Put the tomatoes and chicken in and massage until everything is evenly coated in the seasoned oil. Dump everything onto a foil lined baking sheet. Top the chicken with the large basil leaves and then the slices of halloumi.
3
Bake for 15 minutes at 350 , then turn on the broil setting and cook for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and the chicken is cooked. (note: oven times vary, especially broil so keep an eye on it!) Take the chicken out and let it rest on a plate and continue to cook the tomatoes for 10 more minutes back on 350 F. (They will become super sweet and have a great concentrated tomato flavor!).
4
Meanwhile, add the olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to a blender and blitz for 30 seconds. Next add the basil and blitz until it's the consistency of pesto, about 30 seconds.
