Ingredients
- 1/2 cup diced plum tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons diced red onion
- 1/4 cup sliced, drained sweet pimientos
- 1/4 cup snipped fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Olive oil spray
- Toasted Almond Broccoli, recipe follows
Directions
Mix tomatoes, onions, sweet pimientos, and basil together in a small bowl. Add vinegar and toss to mix. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
Place chicken between 2 pieces of waxed paper or aluminum foil and flatten with a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet to 1/2-inch thick. Heat a large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat and spray with olive oil spray. Add chicken and saute 3 minutes per side. Sprinkle salt and pepper, to taste, on the cooked sides. Divide between 2 dinner plates and spoon the tomato relish on top.
Toasted Almond Broccoli:
- 4 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 1/2 pound broccoli florets (4 cups)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Heat a nonstick skillet on medium heat and add almonds. (This can be done in the same skillet used for the chicken.) Saute 1 minute or until almonds are golden, not brown. Remove and set aside.
Steam the broccoli in a collapsible steamer, set up in a pot filled with 1 inch of water. Alternatively, place broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Remove and add oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Toss well. Sprinkle almonds on top.

The tomato relish is delish. I double the tomoato relish every time I make it. Also, I used walnuts instead of almonds. Yummmy!!

This dish was good, but I would recommend adding more balsamic vinegar than the recipe calls for to the relish. The chicken is a little bland as is and I think that more vinegar would add more flavor. I also added some balsamic vinegar to the broccoli which came out fantastic.

This was very delicious. I wasn't in the mood for a cold relish, so I covered the bowl and microwaved it for 2 minutes. It turned out marvelously.
