baked chicken, green beans and tomatoes

It's the last night before the ana's and milo disappear to the diamond isle, so we need something to eat that both empties the fridge *and* can be left to cook itself whilst we root out suitcases and pack clothes. Oh, as there's no Bikini Blitz, it also has to be healthy. We haven't had it for a while but baked chicken with green beans, tomato and feta seems to hit the spot:

I think we've pretty much established this is a Jamie Oliver dish - any idea where it's from, anybody? Lucy's (good or bad)? Sarah? - but I've developed my own hard and fast rule when I cook it.

Part of its beauty is the lovely herb and cheesey sauce which you can pour over the chicken once you've plated up. However, if you cook it in a shallow oven dish the juices boil away (and the chicken gets a bit dry) so the trick is to use a deeper casserole with a lid. All I've got to do is find one...

  1. Now I think it was a Jamie dish and I reckon Kendrazerlina made it donkeys doodas ago. Ana also made it for me once when you lived in Putters. I will go and have a flick through my JO collection..back in a min...........nope, can't find it in any of them..grrr. My search has revived my interest in 'Cook' with Jamie though which I had never bothered with as it just seemed a bit crap. However, there are some interesting baked chicken recipes in there.
