    1. In a small bowl, measure out the tomato sauce. Stir in the vegetable oil (olive or refined sunflower both work) and mix until smooth. 2. Remove the skin and bone from the chicken breasts, then rinse them and pat them dry with paper towels. Lay them in a medium-deep bowl, sprinkle the salt and your chosen spices over the top, and rub them into the meat. Pour over the tomato-sauce-and-oil mixture and work it into the chicken with your hands. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature. You can marinate it overnight instead — just keep it in the refrigerator. 3. Set a grill pan over high heat and let it get good and hot. Brush it lightly with oil (an oil spray is ideal). Once it's hot, lower the heat to medium. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for another 5–7 minutes, until the meat is a nice golden color. 4. Wash and dry the tomatoes, then slice them into rounds. Grate the cheese on the medium side of a box grater. Lay the tomato slices on the chicken and top with the cheese. Cover the pan and wait 1–2 minutes, until the cheese melts, then take it off the heat. Serve hot with any side you like. Scatter chopped fresh herbs over the meat, along with a little dry seasoning — freshly ground black pepper is perfect.
  • Mashed, baked, boiled, or fried potatoes all pair beautifully with this chicken. You could also serve it with a grain, beans, or pasta. It goes well with fresh or roasted vegetables, various salads, and fresh herbs. Enjoy!
