Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to gas mark 4 (175˚ C).
  2. Turn the block of halloumi on its side and cut it into four even slices. Set aside.
  3. Pour the olive oil, salt, and pepper into a large plastic bag. Put the tomatoes and chicken into the bag, and massage until everything is evenly coated in the seasoned oil.
  4. Dump everything onto a foil-lined baking sheet. Top the chicken with the large basil leaves and the slices of halloumi.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes, then turn on the broil setting and cook for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and the chicken is cooked.
  6. Place diced potatoes into a pan of boiling water and boil for 10 minutes.
  7. Gently heat a little oil in a frying and shallow fry the softening potatoes until crispy. Mix the mixed herbs and garlic into the pan. Salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Take the chicken out and let it rest on a plate. Continue to cook the tomatoes for 10 more minutes.
  9. 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.
