Chicken and Tomato Saute

This is a great dish for any size group (I recently made it for a group of 6, and a group of 17!). It's easy and fun, and a great use of cherry tomatoes!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 half pounds of chicken tenders
2 tsp dried oregano
1 pint of cherry tomatoes
3/4 C dry white wine
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, sliced or minced
olive oil
salt and pepper

Heat a little olive oil over a medium high heat in a large skillet. Season chicken tenders with salt, pepper and oregano. Brown chicken in Olive Oil. Hint: Place chicken in skillet and do not touch it for 2 minutes before checking to see if it's golden brown. Flip chicken over, and repeat.

Transfer chicken to a plate. Lower heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the shallots, and cook for 3 minutes or until slightly soft. Add in the tomatoes and cook until they begin to burst (4-5 minutes), add in the white wine, and simmer until reduced to about half. Slide back in the chicken to heat.

This is served best with a side dish like rice or noodles, or perhaps potatoes-- something to soak up the delicious sauce!
