Ingredients
-
1 lemon
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/2 c red wine vinegar
8 sprigs thyme
1 tablespoon capers
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
resealable plastic freezer bags
Tips
Delicious topped with parmesan cheese (not included in calorie count) or served with a side of roasted garlic smashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a garden salad.
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.
