This is one recipe that traditional chicken lovers would probably be surprised with -- surprised in a very, very good way.

While traditional chicken lovers (like me) stick to the old time favorites, it would be good to try something new once in a while.

Don't get me wrong, your good old fried chicken, chicken adobo, roast chicken or what other classics you may love are still good -- that's why they're called "favorites" or "classics".

But this recipe caught my eye when I was looking for something fresh and new, and this was one chicken recipe that looked too good to let pass.

Made with some classic herbs and tomatoes (always a good combo), some good chicken pieces and the Breville Automatic Meal Maker, this might just become a classic once you've gotten the hang of it. And the taste is just refreshingly great!
