Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup basil pesto
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease 8 cups of a standard muffin tin.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, pesto, egg, Parmesan, 1/4 cup of the mozzarella, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing so the muffins stay tender.
  • Divide the chicken mixture among the 8 greased muffin cups, filling each cup evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella over the tops.
  • Place the cherry tomatoes in a small baking dish and toss them with the olive oil. Set the dish beside the muffin tin in the oven. Bake until the chicken muffins reach 165°F in the center and the tomatoes have softened and begun to blister, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins rest in the tin for 5 minutes. Spoon the roasted cherry tomatoes over or beside the muffins before serving.

For the best texture, mix the chicken just until the ingredients come together and check the centers with an instant-read thermometer. If the tomatoes finish roasting before the muffins, take them out and keep them warm while the chicken finishes baking.
