    1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes each side or until lightly browned. Remove chicken from pan and arrange pieces ‘good’ side up in a single layer over the bottom of a large (non-stick, oil-sprayed) casserole dish.

    2 Return pan to heat then stir in onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion has softened. Add capsicum. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 more minutes then add the next four ingredients and bring to the boil, stirring occasionally.

    3 Pour the sauce over chicken and sprinkle with parmesan. Transfer to oven and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes. Serve over pasta with a side salad or vegetables and perhaps some crusty bread. Garnish with extra fresh basil if preferred.
