That sun-dried tomato vinaigrette looks so good! And it’s so simple, too. I’m going to try this :D
What a perfect summer recipe! I am always looking for different ways to do chicken and this looks so yummy!
Another beautiful recipe from a beautiful lady! I hope you’re working away at your book and that it’s out soon :)
MMMM – will be making this beauty very soon. Have everything on the list even the basil since I was very brave (not a gardener – just LOVE basil) and planted some seed this spring and it is doing so well.
Made this tonight and it was delish! Hubby loved it too. Next time I’m going to triple the marinade/sauce and then use it for a pasta or baked potato topping. This will be a great way to use up my basil and sun dried tomatoes.
That vinaigrette sounds so amazing & easy! I love that you didn’t use one of those bottled dressings to marinate the chicken.
I can’t wait to try this!!
Morning Andie! We made this chicken dish last night and it was delicious! Ended up marinating it for about 4 hours and it was super moist. Forgot to set some marinade aside for drizzling tho. My marinade didn’t get the beautiful color yours did and of course that’s what made me decide to make it! My tomatoes didn’t give it that color….any suggestions so it looks better for presentation next time? No matter, still a keeper recipe for me! Thanks!
Made this last night…totally delicious!
I made this for dinner Friday night and it was fantastic! My husband loved it too. I’ll definitely make it again.
