Chicken with Balsamic Tomatoes

Chicken with Balsamic Tomatoes

Serves 6 - 4 Smart Points each

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 Tbs Olive Oil

1 1/2 Tbs White Wine Vinegar

1 tsp Italian Seasoning

15 garlic cloves

1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

6 cups fresh cherry tomatoes cut in half (I used heirloom)

3 Tbs balsamic vinegar

1 Tbs regular butter

1 Tbs honey

1 Tbs basil

1 cup onions, chopped

1 tsp Thyme

3 wedges Laughing Cow Cheese

2 cups shredded fat free Mozzarella

6 Tbs Trader Joe's Bruschetta Sauce

Preheat the oven to 425

In Ziploc bag add 6 cloves crushed garlic, olive oil, white wine vinegar, pepper flakes, salt, pepper, Mrs. Dash, Italian Seasoning.  Mix together and split chicken breasts and spread 1 Tbs Trader Joe's Bruschetta and 1/2 wedge of Laughing Cow cheese, roll up and add to ziploc bag. 

Marinate for a couple hours or overnight.

After chicken is done marinating.  In the pan you are going to bake the chicken in, add the tomatoes and push the chicken breasts into the center of the tomatoes.

Saute onions in Pam sprayed pan, add remaining crushed garlic, balsamic vinegar, thyme, butter, honey.Turn off heat.  Add basil.  Pour over tomatoes and chicken.

Bake uncovered for 25-55 minutes - it depends if you have assembled this dish before and had it in the refrigerator or putting it into the oven warm.  I always check the temperature.  It should be close to 165).  Cover with mozzarella.  Spray with Pam.  Broil on high for 5 minutes.

There will be lots of tomato gravy.  Delicious over rice.  Served this with 2-ingredient dough made into Naan bread (adding chives and garlic).
