Grilled tomato and chicken

Over the weekend, two people mentioned grilled tomatoes, which got me wanting to make a grilled tomato sauce.  I grilled up tomatoes and chicken and had them over whole wheat spaghetti (Full Circle Organics whole wheat spaghetti tastes almost like normal pasta, I'm a big fan).  The following recipe makes enough for about 2 servings.  This was really easy.


Ingredients:
  • 1/2 pound chicken breast
  • 1 large tomato
  • 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • olive oil
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup Burgundy wine (or a sweet, red wine)
  • grated parmesan/romano cheese
  • basil, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper

I marinated the chicken in some olive oil, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, basil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and thyme.  I sliced the tomato into 1/4 inch slices.  I put a little salt and black pepper on the slices.  

I grilled the chicken and when it was mostly done, added the tomatoes to the grill. I grilled the tomato for about 3 minute a side, until they were just about to fall apart. I diced the tomato up, put it in a pan with oil and garlic and sauteed.  I added about 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, basil, oregano, and thyme.  I then added the wine and about 1/4 cup grated cheese.  I then sliced up the chicken and added it to the pan and adjusted the salt.  I topped with some more cheese on top of the pasta.
