    Ingredients

    • Chicken breast fillets - lean cuts that bake quickly in the oven.
    • Apricots - fresh apricots, preferably in season!
    • Cherry tomatoes - deliciously juicy.
    • Feta cheese - adds some tang and healthy fats to the dish.

    How to make sheet pan apricot chicken bake

    Heat the oven to 200 C / 180 C fan oven / 390 F. Season the chicken fillets with dried basil, salt and pepper, and fry them gently in a pan on high heat for 2 minutes on each side until the outside is golden brown.

    Add the chicken fillets to a baking dish along with halved cherry tomatoes and apricots cut in wedges.

    Bake the chicken in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the chicken has cooked through.

    Crumble feta cheese over the top, and serve!
