HERB-ROASTED OLIVES & TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Combine the first 5 ingredients on a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Add oil and seasonings; toss to coat. Roast until tomatoes are softened, 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

GARLIC AND HERB TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a saute pan large enough to hold all the tomatoes in one layer. Add the garlic to the oil and cook over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, basil, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to loose their firm round shape. Sprinkle with a little fresh chopped basil and parsley and serve hot or at room temperature.

HERB ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil.
• In a large bowl, mix together the herbs, garlic, pepper, salt and olive oil. Add halved tomatoes and toss well. Arrange the seasoned tomatoes, flesh side up, on a half sheet tray lined with parchment. Sprinkle liberally with the Parmesan. Put under the broiler until the cheese is browned and melted, and the tomatoes have caramelized, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

CHICKEN AND MASHED POTATOES WITH HERB-ROASTED TOMATOES AND OLIVE BROTH

Steps:

• For herb-roasted tomatoes:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Place tomatoes, cut side up, on rimmed baking sheet. Brush tomatoes with oil. Mix parsley, basil, rosemary, and thyme in bowl. Sprinkle half of herb mixture over tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Roast tomatoes until tender and slightly brown around edges, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining herbs.
• Meanwhile, prepare olive broth:
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and fennel and sauté until onions are translucent, about 6 minutes. Add chicken broth and boil until mixture is reduced to 3 1/2 cups, about 13 minutes. Add spinach and olives to broth and cook 1 minute. Strain through fine sieve; discard solids. Season broth to taste with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
• Brush chicken with 2 tablespoons oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat heavy large skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium and sauté until chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes longer.
• Spoon mashed potatoes onto center of each of 6 plates, dividing equally. Top with tomatoes, then chicken. Spoon broth around potatoes on each plate.
