    a REALLY easy one – 1 can of your favorite type of diced tomatoes – I love the sweet onion. Put about a third on the bottom of a pie plate. Place cut-up boneless chicken on top – I cut mine into 3-4 oz pieces so they cook evenly. Spread the rest of the tomatoes on top of the chicken and bake at 350 til instant read thermometer reads 165. Usually takes 25 minutes in my oven.
