Balsamic Vinegar Chicken With Fresh Cherry Tomatoes

This recipe is very easy to prepare. It has a very fresh taste and is very healthy as well. I browned the chicken in the morning and placed everything in the baking dish so all I needed to do was pop it into the oven for about 40 minutes. I served it with mashed potatoes but it would be good with pasta or rice as well. ENJOY!!
