Tray Baked Chicken a la Jamie Oliver

My lovely mother-in-law gave me Jamie Oliver's latest cookbook for Christmas and I'm crazy about it!  While it's nearly impossible to create his three-course meals in only 30 minutes, I try to focus on getting the main dish finished and plated in that time frame.  One of his recipes, 'Tray Baked Chicken' on pg 103, is delicious and very easy:

INGREDIENTS:

dried oregano
sweet paprika
a knob of butter
4 skinless chicken breasts
1 lemon
300g cherry tomatoes on the vine
4 rashers of streaky bacon
a couple of sprigs of fresh rosemary
olive oil
salt & pepper

METHOD (in Jamie Oliver's own words):

Turn the heat under an empty frying pan to high. 
Get out a large sheet of greaseproof paper.  Sprinkle over a good pinch of dried oregano, salt and pepper and paprika, then drizzle over some olive oil and add a lug to the hot frying pan too, along with the knob of butter. 
Lay the chicken breasts on top of the greaseproof paper and roll them in the flavours.  Add to the hot frying pan and fry for 4 to 5 minutes, or until golden on both sides.  While this is happening, clear away the greaseproof paper and wash your hands.
Get out a nice roasting tray, then quarter the lemon and chuck it in the tray along with the vine tomatoes. 
Tip in the chicken breasts and any juices from the pan.  Use tongs to arrange everything nicely, then lay the bacon on top of the breasts.
Add the sprigs of rosemary to the pan and move them around so that they get coated in the juices.  Pop them into the tray, then whack the tray under the grill for at least 14 minutes.

Serve with wilted spinach and potatoes crushed with rosemary, bay leaves and garlic.  The chicken stays juicy from the bacon and the lemon adds a delicious tang to the dish, while the tomatoes burst to release a sweetness that perfectly rounds off the flavours.  Dont skimp on the juices either - lather the chicken in spoonfuls of it and in no time you'll be mopping it all up with the potatoes!

I made this for a dinner party recently and just managed to take a photo of it (or half of it) before it was gone.
