Directions
Freeze It:
Slice the lemon into rounds.

Butterfly cut chicken breasts.

In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes and all but 1/2 cup of their liquid, lemon, thyme, and capers, and red wine vinegar. Divide among four 1-quart plastic freezer bags or combine in one 1-gallon freezer bag, depending on how you will prepare portions.

Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add one chicken breast to each bag each bag.

Freeze, for up to 3 months, until ready to cook.

Cook It:
Heat oven to 400° F.

Remove the bags of chicken and tomatoes from the freezer (you'll need 1 bag of chicken and tomatoes for each serving). Empty the contents of each bag into a baking dish. Drizzle with the oil, using 1 1/2 teaspoons for each serving. (For 4 servings, use 2 tablespoons oil.)

Roast until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 50 minutes.
