Chicken Dish

I wanted to try something different for the chicken we eat four to five times a week. I found this recipe on the Internet an decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. It was delicious.
Ingredients

1 tablespoon grated lemon rind $
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice $
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds) $
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Cooking spray
Tomatoes:$
2 cups grape tomatoes $
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind $
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice $
1 tablespoon capers
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation

1. Prepare grill.
2. To prepare chicken, combine first 4 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add chicken to bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 15 minutes, turning the bag occasionally.
3. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 5 minutes on each side or until done.
4. Preheat oven to 425°.
5. To prepare tomatoes, combine tomatoes and 2 teaspoons oil in an 8-inch square baking dish; toss gently. Bake at 425° for 18 minutes or until tomatoes are tender. Combine tomato mixture, parsley, and remaining ingredients, stirring gently. Serve with chicken.




This is what it looks like sitting on the Mangum's table. We had a bottle of Sangiovese which I thought paired well with the chicken.
