  • 1½ TBSP. dried tarragon
  • 1½ tsp. sea salt
  • ¾ tsp. freshly ground pepper
  • ¼ tsp. paprika
  • 3 med. dried bay leaves, crumbled 
  • 1 TBSP. lemon zest
  • 3 med. garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 TBSP. Kosterina extra virgin olive oil

For the Tomato Relish:

  • 1 large, ripe organic tomato (or two smaller ones)
  • 2 TBSP. shallots, minced

Directions

For the Chicken:

  1. Trim the chicken and set aside. In a small bowl, mix the next 8 ingredients to make a paste. Rub the paste all over the chicken breasts. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours.

  3. Remove from the heat, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let it stand for 5 minutes or so as it finishes cooking.
