Roasted Feta Tomato Chicken and Thyme

Sweet juicy roasted tomatoes, lemony earthy thyme, tangy feta cheese and seasoned chicken.

Tomato, Chicken and Feta Recipe

This year we planted, wait for it, 45 tomato plants PLUS. Yup, that is a lot. With the glorious bounty, I have been working on creating recipes using them. Fun and exciting. (Insert a little exhausting at times too if I am honest.) The goal is not to waste any or prevent minimal waste.

The first tomato dish created was this Roasted Feta Tomato Chicken and Thyme. It is a recipe fit for 2 people. Very simple dish, with minimal effort but bountiful in flavor. We used fresh Thyme straight out of the garden, which adds to the fun of creating these dishes. The dish is healthy, affordable and done in one dish. Easy clean up. The tomatoes are juicy and sweet. Thyme gives a subtle earthy essence. The feta gives everything a little richness and tang, complimenting the other flavors.
