ROASTED CHICKEN CAPRESE

Steps:

• Place chicken in a 1-gallon zip-top bag. Add Lemon Vinaigrette, seal and marinate in refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cut each tomato into quarters lengthwise. Place in a medium bowl and toss gently with sugar, salt and olive oil. Spoon tomato mixture onto a rimmed cookie sheet so that tomato pieces don't touch. Roast for 30 minutes. Spoon tomatoes and all accumulated juices into a small bowl. Add cheese, basil leaves and pepper, tossing gently. Let sit at room temperature while chicken cooks.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Remove chicken and discard marinade. Place chicken on same cookie sheet used to roast tomatoes. Roast for about 30 minutes, turning once, or until fully cooked through.
• To serve, place 1 chicken breast half on each heated dinner plate. Spoon 1/4 of tomato mixture over top.
• Whisk all ingredients, except oil, together in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in oil to emulsify.

CAPRESE CHICKEN & ROASTED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Slice the chicken breasts in half and then season and tenderize with salt and pepper. Set aside. Whisk together balsamic vinegar, mustard, brown sugar and olive oil. Toss half with the broccoli and spread out onto a sheet pan. Sprinkle with salt and roast for 25 minutes, shaking midway. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with some oil and then grill chicken on both sides for about 2 minutes (If grill pan isn’t large enough to fit all the chicken pieces, transfer grilled pieces to a sheet pan). Transfer chicken to the oven and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add a slice of mozzarella to each chicken breast. When chicken is done, top cheese with a basil leaf and tomato slice. Drizzle with rest of the sauce, and enjoy with your crunchy, roasted broccoli.
