Chicken with Grape Tomato Sauce

When Lisa made this a few weeks ago, I was intrigued because it looks so delicious and she raved about it so highly. I go nuts for anything with basil and tomato, so was happy to make it too.

I enjoyed this one a lot, and so did the boys.  M wasn't really over the moon for it; I think he wasn't fond of the cooked tomato flavor.  I, however, loved them--cooking the tomatoes brought out a sweetness that made them so awesome.  I used grape tomatoes because they were on sale and cherry tomatoes weren't even available.

So, give this a try when you're looking for a fast, easy, weeknight meal.
