Tomato Leek Chicken Recipes

NO-PEEK TOMATO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Combine the rice, dried basil, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt (see Cook's Note) and a few grinds pepper in the baking dish. Add the diced tomatoes and tomato soup and stir to evenly disperse.
• Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture side-by-side in a single layer. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Sprinkle the onion soup mixture over the top of the entire dish, concentrating a little more heavily on the chicken (the onions will brown more evenly there and flavor the chicken).
• Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake until the chicken and rice are cooked through, about 1 hour and 25 minutes. Let sit, still covered, for 15 minutes to allow the rice to absorb any remaining liquid. Uncover and serve.

LEEK AND TOMATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350. Trim the leeks of the hard green parts and outer skin, and wash them well. If they're fat, quarter them the long way. Chop the tomatoes and put them in a gratin dish long enough to hold the leeks but narrow enough so that everything is snug. Add the oil and nestle the leeks in there; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake, checking and stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes become saucy and the leeks are very, very tender, about an hour. If you like, sprinkle with Parmesan and raise the heat until the cheese melts and browns a bit. Otherwise, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot or warm.

Cook until mixture is just heated through, about 2 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Combine chicken mixture, linguine and 1/2 cup Parmesan in large bowl; toss well. Sprinkle with basil if desired. Serve, passing remaining Parmesan.
