Grilled Chicken w/ Tomatoes and Feta

So. What does one do with mounds of tomatoes from one's garden? I wouldn't know. This year my tomatoe plants are PATHETIC! That being said, when I do have lots of tomatoes, here is a quick and easy recipe.

Inspiration: a recipe from Gourmet (I think) and lots of fresh tomatoes
Time: 45 minutes
Difficulty: easy
Special equipment: grill
Servings: 2

Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt & pepper
2 whole tomatoes chopped & drained
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil, sliced thin (opt)
Extra virgin olive oil

Rub the chicken with salt & pepper. Cook on grill until done. Mix together the tomatoes, feta and basil. Drizzle oil over it & mix in. Serve w/ chicken.

NOTE: The original recipe called for marinating the chicken in white wine with chopped fresh herbs and salsa was just tomatoes & feta. It is very good that way too. I will sometimes rub a mixture of fresh herbs, garlic & salt and pepper & omit the basil. Actually you could do any combination of the above!

This is such a simple and delicious way to cook chicken. The tomatoes and feta are a great salty and sweet combination.
