Few foods are more rescued for solve a quick dinner than a chicken breast. Versatile, cheap and easy to make, its journey in the kitchen may not be the tastiest in the world, but it comes in handy so as not to complicate our lives.
Especially if not complicating ourselves is also associated with do not stain more than necessarywhich is always a nuisance if we get home at night and the last thing we want to do is take the scouring pads for a walk.
So when I get home and have a seemingly sad chicken breast—or fillets—in the fridge, there’s a solution that I wouldn’t call a miracle (but almost) to solve dinner without fighting in the kitchen.
In this case we solve dinner with a baked recipe that stains just enough, since everything is made in the same dish, and also when cooking the chicken breasts in the oven we get them to be juicy without drying out more than necessary.
We could baptize the recipe Hasselback-style chicken caprese, because in this case we use tomato, basil and mozzarella. If you do not have any of the ingredients you can make it less caprese, but it will still give good results.

Of course, it is also worth using any cheese you have at home, although the beauty of mozzarella is that it melts quite well and melted with the oven It looks great to solve a family dinner with a chicken breast.
It will be enough to have the breasts temperate and make several cuts across, which will be where we introduce our tomato and mozzarella slices, roasting them for about 20 or 25 minutes at 190º with a good jet of olive oil and already seasoned, so that they are neither dry nor bland.
The only thing you have to calculate is if you want it to melt completely or if you prefer it to remain a bit more whole. Therefore, the recommendation would be in add the mozzarella slices after 25 minutes and not from the beginning, so that a more apparent dish also remains.
