directions

1. combine the ingredients for the marinated tomatoes in a small bowl and whisk together. Then put the diced tomatoes into a large ziploc bag. Pour the marinade over the tomatoes and set aside to let them marinate while you cook the rest of the dish. Turn the bag occasionally.
2. While you are cubing the potatoes, preheat the oven to 450°F Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and add the 3 TBSP of olive oil, the 3/4 teaspoons salt and the 1/2 tsp of black pepper. Stir until the potatoes are coated. Cook for 25-30 minutes. Potatoes should be a golden color.
3. For the sauce you will need put the stick of butter in a medium sauce pan and cook until melted. Then add the 3 TBSP of flour. Cook for 3-5 minutes stirring frequently. Then add the 2 tsp minced garlic and let cook for 3-5 more minutes stirring frequently. Add the milk and let it cook until thickened (about 10-15 minutes). Then add the parmesan and stir it inches.
4. In a large serving bowl, combine the chicken breast, penne, and potatoes. Toss with the sauce.
5. Dip out onto plates and top with the marinated tomatoes.
