Baked Chicken with Cherry Tomatoes, Herbs and Lemon

Here’s a low-fat, low-fuss way to enjoy tender chicken breasts. Baking the chicken takes longer than sautéing or poaching, but it produces more flavorful meat. Cherry tomatoes become even sweeter as they bake, making them a tasty accompaniment to the chicken breasts that cook alongside. If desired, you can omit the tarragon and sage, and top the finished dish with fresh basil and parsley leaves lightly drizzled with olive oil.
