Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. In a shallow dish, whisk together half of the tarragon, half of the oil and 1 teaspoon of the minced garlic. Lightly pound chicken breast halves between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap to 1/2-inch thickness; sprinkle with pepper; add to tarragon mixture and turn to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare sauce: In a blender or food processor, puree tomatoes and remaining olive oil until smooth. Add vinegar and remaining tarragon and garlic; pulse until well blended; season to taste with pepper. Grill chicken until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side; transfer to serving plates and top with sauce.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Steamed red skinned potatoes and steamed green beans tossed with crumbled blue cheese.
