Sun-dried Tomato Chicken

I love this sun-dried tomato chicken! It’s bursting with delicious flavor! My 5 year old calls this chicken “yum yum chicken” and I can’t dispute him, it really lives up to the name! It has the perfect balance of sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, a hint of lemon, balsamic vinegar and honey.

This recipe is great on it’s own or it can be chopped up and served over rice, over a salad or in a gyro with all your favorite toppings. If you want a great red pepper hummus recipe check mine out HERE or a delicious instant pot lemony rice recipe HERE.
