directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cut off the top of the head of garlic just until the cloves are exposed. Drizzle with EVOO and wrap in foil.
  • Put tomatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with EVOO and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Roast tomatoes and garlic. Roast tomatoes about 20 minutes, until they burst and roast garlic about 40-45 minutes until tender and golden brown.
  • While the tomatoes and garlic are roasting, season chicken breast with salt and pepper and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Let the chicken marinate until the tomatoes and garlic are done.
  • Preheat a large skillet and about 2 Tb EVOO over medium high heat. Cook chicken about 8 minutes on each side, until browned. When chicken is done, lower heat and deglaze the pan with white wine. Let wine simmer and reduce.
  • Meanwhile squeeze garlic out of clove and puree in a food processor with tomatoes and basil. You may need to season with more salt, pepper, and red pepper at this point.
  • Place chicken breasts in a casserole dish and top with pureed tomatoes and sliced provolone cheese. Let bake until cheese is melted, about 5-8 minutes.

  1. Made for Spring PAC 2008. This was good and easy enough to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I didn't add the red pepper flakes as I am not a fan of spicy. My kids weren't huge fans but hubby and I enjoyed it.
