Baked Chicken with aubergine courgette and tomato ragout

Serves 4

"Chicken breasts are quickly seared, then baked on mediterranean vegetables for a great one pot dish. For convenience, you can make the ragout well in advance, but for best results, bake the chicken breasts just before serving"


This recipe was taken from Gordon Ramsay's fast food. The meal was served on its own, but was still very filling.

Ramsay said this meal would serve 8, but for us it served 4 [hungry] adults!

Highly recommended.

Nut burger recipe came from Rose Elliot's book.
I changed the breadcrumbs in the recipe to crackers which were chopped with fresh parsley. The burgers were pressed and put in the fridge.
