Ingredients

• 1 lemon, juiced
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 ½ cups halved cherry tomatoes
• 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
• 4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons coarse-grained mustard

• 1 bunch green onions, cut into 1/2-inch slices

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pour 3 tablespoons olive oil into a shallow platter and lay chicken breasts on top. Rub with lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken breasts until browned, about 4 minutes per side.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish. Place tomatoes and green onions in the baking dish and pour chicken broth on top.

Step 4

Combine mustard, rosemary, and thyme in a small bowl and brush onto chicken breasts. Place chicken breasts on top of the vegetables in the baking dish. Cover with Gruyere cheese.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
