ni /mei Bake the tomatoes for 10-12 minutes, or until the topping is lightly colored. (Do not overcook.) For a sit-down dinner, serve 2 halves per person (for a buffet with several choices, 1 half may be enough). Serve hot or at room tem- perature. Makes 8 servings. CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES AND CAPERS 6 small boneless and skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds) kosher salt and pepper to taste 1 cup flour 3 T. olive oil 1 cup chopped red or Bermuda onions 2 t. chopped garlic 2 t. dried tarragon 5 cups diced plum tomatoes 3 T. balsamic vinegar 2 T. drained capers 1/2 cup pitted olives, chopped 1 cup dry white wine 1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley Remove visible fat from chicken breasts and flatten breasts lightly with a meat mallet to uniform thickness. Season the chicken with salt and pep- per and dredge in the flour. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and saute over medium-high heat, turning the pieces often until lightly browned, about 5 minutes (you may need to do this in batches). Add the remaining ingredients, except parsley, to the skillet (if your skillet is not large enough, place the sauteed breasts in a larger pot and add the remaining ingredients). Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered. Add half the parsley and cook for 5 minutes more or until the sauce has thickened. Serve the chicken with the sauce spooned over, alone, or over hot, fet- tuccine. Makes 6 servings. ROASTED ONION, TOMATO, PEPPER AND AVOCADO SALAD 2 pounds Spanish or other mild onion, peeled and chopped 3 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved 1 yellow bell pepper, diced 1 t. minced garlic 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves (parsley may be substituted) 2 T. red wine vinegar, plus more to taste 1/4 cup olive oil kosher salt and pepper to taste 2 ripe avocados 10 cups mixed salad greens, any variety Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a roasting pan or baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside. Combine the onions, tomatoes, pepper, garlic, basil, 2 T. vinegar and olive oil in the prepared pan and roast, uncovered, for about 40 min- utes, stirring the mixture occasional- ly, until the vegetables are tender and colored. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature (you may make the salad to this point up to a day ahead — chill until ready to use). Arrange the greens on a large platter or 6 individual serving plates (I like to use dinner-sized plates). Stir the mixture and season to taste with salt and pepper. Dice the avocado and toss with the onion and tomato mixture. Spoon this mixture over the center of the greens and drizzle more vinegar if desired over the greens. Makes 6 servings. ❑ orithstWoomfield Assisted Living from $3,500 per month C%ve &4(14,6 Orchard Lake Rd. South of Lone Pine Rd.
