Method

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the chicken into strips and brown it in the oil for 4 minutes; it does not need to be cooked through yet.
  2. Spread the passata in a 6-inch (15 cm) dish, then the chicken, tomatoes and olives. Cover with the mozzarella and Parmesan and dust with oregano.
  3. Bake 12–15 minutes, until the cheese blisters and the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Tear the basil over as it comes out.
Chef’s tipBasil at the end. Baked, it turns black and tastes of hay. Thirty seconds on the hot surface is all it wants.
Make it twoDouble into an 8-inch (20 cm) dish, same temperature, five minutes longer.
