Submitted by SweetSueAl

"From America's Test Kitchen. A fast corn and tomato salad pairs well with quick-cooking chicken breasts, but a few tricks—like jumpstarting the corn in the microwave first—streamline this recipe even further. For this dish, buy chicken breasts that are about 1/2-inch thick."

This was great! The chicken stayed moist and juicy and I had to complement myself. Very tasty!!! The meal was so quick and easy that I didn't know what to do with myself. I threw in a baked potato to add a bit more substance to the meal.
