Basil and Tomato Chicken Breasts

Ahhh, spring has sprung finally here in the Capitol District! It was a long winter but we have made it through and are now dreaming of warmer days and cookouts with friends. Got a party to go to? A BBQ maybe? Why not think Chicken first? Chicken is very versatile and allows for a spectrum of different flavors. Why not try our Basil and Tomato Chicken Breasts and wow your friends!

BASIL AND TOMATO CHICKEN BREASTS:

This is a great way to prepare chicken breasts. The combination of tomatoes, basil and balsamic vinegar gives this dish an Italian inspired flavor.

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 Chicken Breasts, skinless and deboned
• 4-6 Tomatoes, quartered
• 1/2 Cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 Cup fresh basil, loosely packed
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 2 Cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 Teaspoon salt
• 1/2 Teaspoon black pepper, ground

PREPARATION:
Combine garlic, tomatoes, vinegar, oil, basil, black pepper and salt in a food processor.

In a large, resealable plastic bag, add chicken and marinade. Make sure Chicken is well coated. Seal bag and allow to marinate for 6-8 hours in refrigerator.

Preheat grill

Place chicken on grill and cook on medium heat for 10-12 minutes, turning once. Remove chicken from heat and garnish with diced tomatoes and chopped basil.

And there you have it! A dish that will make you shine at all your spring get togethers! Enjoy!
