I love chicken. Having said that, I really enjoy chicken with a bit of zip and zest to it. I have been in restaurants and have ordered chicken with tomatoes, onions, and lemon. There is just something intriguing about this combination of flavours.
Of course, being the curious creature that I am, I decided to reproduce the dish. My friends, the outcome was simply out of this world. When I served it up at a my dinner party, and my guest went wild. There wasn’t a scrap left on any of the plates.
Description
Herb and tomato chicken is a bold and zesty dish. I use a combination of herbs and spices to dress up the dish. I then lay it over and bed of red onions, place some cherry tomatoes over the top, and bake it in the oven. The outcome is to die for.

It seems redundant, but I will say it again. You can alter as many of the ingredients you want in this recipe. I would go as far as to say even a hint of ginger might be nice.
