ingredients

Marinate these
4 chicken breasts, about 2 pounds (skinned & boned)
1 cup red wine vinaigrette
1 tablespoon fresh oregano (or 1 tsp dried)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
Add these
1 lb cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons red wine vinaigrette (from the marinade)
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
Topping
¹⁄₂ tablespoon fresh oregano (1 tsp dry)
1 ¹⁄₂ ounces feta cheese, crumbles

directions

Marinate breast meat with other marinade ingredients for at least one hour.
Remove chicken from marinade (reserve some); cook on a grill over medium-high heat (or grill in a pan), turning once until cooked through, about 10-12 minutes; keep warm.
While the chicken is cooking, half the tomatoes and toss with reserved vinaigrette and salt in a medium bowl.
Lower grill heat to medium; spread tomatoes in a foil pan (or use a sheet of foil with the edges turned up to make a home-made pan; pinch the corners to make it tighter); sear tomatoes cut sides down, about 2 minutes.
Return tomatoes to bowl, toss with oregano.
Slice chicken and transfer to serving platter; Spoon tomatoes alongside chicken; sprinkle feta cheese and more oregano (if desired) over tomatoes.
