Preheat your oven to 175 C
Turn the block of halloumi on its side and cut
it into three to four even slices. Set aside.
Pour the olive oil, salt, and pepper into a
large plastic bag. Put the tomatoes and chicken
in and massage until everything is evenly
coated in the seasoned oil. Dump everything
onto a foil lined baking sheet. Top the chicken
with the large basil leaves and then the slices
of halloumi.

Bake for 15 minutes at 175c, then turn on the
broil setting and cook for another 10 minutes
or until the cheese is golden brown and the
chicken is cooked. Take the chicken out and let
it rest on a plate and continue to cook the
tomatoes for 10 more minutes back on 175c. They
will become super sweet and have a great
concentrated tomato flavor!
Meanwhile, add the olive oil, garlic, salt,
pepper, and lemon juice to a blender and blitz
for 30 seconds. Next add the basil and blitz
until it's the consistency of pesto, about 30
seconds.
