For the third quadrant (top right), add a layer of the cotija cheese. For the final quadrant (bottom right), add a layer of sliced avocado. Starting with the first quadrant (bottom, left) fold it up and over the top left. Then fold it over the right and fold it down to the bottom right.

This one-pan meal is guaranteed to impress. Seared chicken is simmered with grape tomatoes to tender, juicy perfection. The addition of burrata and truffle oil take this dish to the next level and the only way to improve upon it is to sop up the sauce with some warm, crusty but chewy bread.

INGREDIENTS:

1 Tbsp. salt

1 tsp.Simple Truth Organic™ Ground Black Pepper

4 Tbsp.Simple Truth Organic® Filtered Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Lower the heat to medium low and add the remaining oil, onions, tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and cumin. Allow the onions to soften and brown, the tomatoes to blister, and the spices to become fragrant. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
