Chicken with Roasted Tomatoes and Zucchini

When you are faced with an abundance of this:





And this:

... you really should try making this:


Chicken with Roasted Tomatoes and Zucchini

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 medium zucchini, sliced
4 medium tomatoes, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place tomatoes, onion and zucchini in a shallow pan (a cookie sheet with sides works well), mix in the olive oil, making sure to coat all the vegetables, and spread into a single layer.

2. Place the vegetables in the oven and roast for 10 minutes, or until the edges start to brown. Stir and roast for 10 - 15 more minutes. The vegetables should be very soft and slightly browned.

3. Meanwhile, grill the chicken breasts. (I feel like there should be some more complicated instruction here, but that's really it. Grill the chicken breasts. I supposed I can add "making sure not to overcook" because I do that sometimes. But maybe you don't. Probably you don't.)

4. Stir the herbs into the vegatable mixture. The tomatoes should smash up and make a kind of thick sauce for the zucchini and onions. Salt and pepper to taste.

5. Put the chicken breasts on plates and spoon the vegetable sauce over them. Tasty!
