Delicious Tomato Basil Marinated Chicken

This is one of the easier recipes to make and it also happens to taste delicious.

Serves: 6

Ingredients:

-6 chicken breasts
-6 tomatoes ~ cut into quarters
-3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
-1 lemon ~ squeezed
-3 tablespoons olive oil
-1/3 cup basil leaves
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-1/2 teaspoon pepper
-1/4 teaspoon shallots ~ optional

Instructions:

-Put all ingredients except the chicken into a blender ~ use the setting for "sauce" if your blender has one ~ until the mixture turns basically into a liquid.
-Put the sauce that you just made in the blender into a gallon-size freezer bag along with the chicken breasts.
-Put the bag into the refrigerator overnight ~ or at least 8 hours. If you're making the mixture the night before for dinner the following night, I advise turning the bag over in the morning so as to marinate the chicken breasts more easily.
-When ready to serve the chicken, put the chicken and the marinade in a pan over medium heat for 5 minutes.
-Turn the chicken over, then heat for 5 more minutes.

Enjoy!
