Tomato Bruschetta Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/2 cup tomato vinaigrette salad dressing (you can use more if you like)1 pint cherry/grape tomatoes, cut in half (not pictured, Roma tomatoes were substituted)1 tablespoon seasoned olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons onion, diced
Basil, chiffinade (not pictured)***
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, thinly sliced
Marinate chicken in salad dressing for several hours or over night. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange chicken in a glass baking pan. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. Arrange tomatoes, garlic and onions on a baking sheet. Drizzle with seasoned olive oil. Place tomatoes in oven for the last 15 minutes of the chicken’s baking time. Remove tomatoes and chicken. Plate chicken and top with roasted tomato mixture, some basil and Parmesan cheese.
***Tip for my Kitchen Challenged sister (you know who you are).(Hey that would be a good idea for a blog, Rach, “The Adventures Of The Kitchen Challenged”) To chiffinade something means to cut something (usually herbs or spinach) into long, thin strips. This is accomplished by stacking leaves, rolling them tightly, then cutting across the rolled leaves with a sharp knife, producing fine ribbons.
The reason one of the possible titles for this blog entry was “It’s A Miracle: I Ate Tomatoes, And I Liked It,” is because I have been a self proclaimed tomato hater for my entire life. I can even remember my very first times trying to eat tomatoes as a kid and gaging uncontrollably(horrible and life haunting experience). However, as I have grown and matured my palate and I have discovered that if cooked the right way or added to the right foods, that I (and I can’t believe I am writing this) actually like tomatoes. I really like tomatoes (specifically cherry/grape tomatoes) roasted. They become so sweet and tasty when they are cooked that way. You should try eating them that way, if you too are a self proclaimed tomato hater.
looks great think I will follow along for awhile
My daughter hates tomato but loves tomato sauce. Go figure. Once the real tomatoes are in, I make bruchetta every other day! Have never throw in it on chicken but it’s a grand idea.
It still looks delicious even without the basil!
Enjoying your blog, immensely! I’m always on the lookout for new chicken recipes. This is one I’m going to have to try!
