Buttermilk Chicken with Sweet Tomato Relish

Yum.

Yes, yum!

I actually can’t believe I’m so excited about something made with tomatoes.  I never ate tomatoes as a kid, as a teenager, as a young adult and even as a not so young adult but as a middle aged adult I have learned to love and appreciate tomatoes.

I think I have a new favorite condiment – sweet tomato relish.  I made a batch of this last week for the bridal shower I hosted.  I served it on  crostini that was spread with a little roasted garlic and cambozola cheese.  I then topped it with the sweet tomato relish and it was delish.

I decided it just might make a nice little condiment on chicken.  I was right.  Now that I’ve had it on chicken I also think it would be mighty fine on beef, pork and fish.  I think it would be fine on just about anything!!

Buttermilk Chicken with Sweet Tomato Relish

Marinated in buttermilk and lightly breaded chicken served with a delicious sweet tomato relish.

The relish is a combination of  cherry tomatoes, sweet onion, olive oil, sugar and a little seasoning.

Slice up your onion and cut your cherry tomatoes in half and put them in a pan with a little olive oil.

Add in some white sugar, brown sugar and a little dried thyme and let it simmer and thicken.  About 10 minutes or so.  Use the back of your spoon to smash the tomatoes up a bit.

After it has thickens it is ready to eat – by the spoon full or served on just about anything. For dinner this week I served in on some pan fried buttermilk chicken.

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and let them marinade in some buttermilk for an hour or two.  I then lightly breaded them with some seasoned flour and pan fried them  in half vegetable oil and half olive oil.

Cook until the chicken is cooked through and serve with sweet tomato relish.

I’ve got one word for you – YUM!

    How long will this keep in the refrigerator? I have a lot of cherry tomatoes or do you have to can.

      Probably 5-7 days I would think. You could can it or freeze it.
