It’s a salad…it’s a chicken…no it’s dinner!
My father-in-law grows the best tomatoes. I don’t even like tomatoes typically and certainly never in thick slices, but his home-grown tomatoes are different. I eat them sliced with salt and pepper with a knife and fork…all by themselves. If you haven’t tried fresh home-grown tomatoes, you should…even you don’t love store-bought tomatoes. So my father-in-law brought some of his yummy tomatoes and of course we couldn’t let them go to waste. This meal was so fresh and flavorful and super quick to make!
