Grilled Chicken with Tomato, Red Onion, & Basil

Grilled Chicken w/ Tomato,
Red Onion & Basil

This grilled chicken medley is a must-have in your recipe box!! It's packed with nutrition, tastes great, and is very easy to make in advance. I have been fortunate to have an abundant supply of tomatoes and basil from my garden so I make this meal regularly in the summer.

Since this is a rather light dish, I like to pair it with a salad or rice pilaf (made with brown rice, of course).

Enjoy! I look forward to hearing from you!

Ingredients:
  • 4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves 
  • 1/4 cup Ken's Steakhouse Lite Sun-Dried Tomato Dressing
  • 3 Roma (Plum) tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Directions:
Marinate chicken:
  • Place chicken and dressing in a plastic bag. Marinate at least 10 minutes (longer for fuller flavor).
Assemble tomato topping:
  • Combine diced tomatoes, finely chopped onion, 3 tablespoons olive oil, chopped fresh basil, and balsamic vinegar in medium bowl; season tomato topping with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Topping can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature, tossing occasionally.
