Tomatoes tomatoes

As summer is coming to a close here in Minnesota, we had a bang up crop of tomatoes.   I have picked tomatoes almost every other day, given them away to relatives and froze some.   But I love sundried tomatoes so I went on to pinterest and found a recipe for them and oh my are they easy and so good.  I made a jar for the fridge and have 2 bags frozen for winter.  Plus making 2 more trays today.   Just split cherry tomatoes in half and toss in olive oil, bit of salt, minced garlic and some Italian herbs.  Spread out on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 220 until reduced to less than half the size - about 4-6 hours.  I then put them in a jar with olive oil.  (the ones I froze I did not add more olive oil to the freezer bag - I will once I thaw them).

I use them in a chicken sandwich recipe that is super tasty.   I take chicken breast and dice into 1"chucks,  cook the chicken until done.  Once cooked toss some Italian salad dressing over the chicken to keep it moist.   Cook up some broccoli.  Then you are ready to assemble.   Slice a hoagie bun or sub style bread of your choice,  lay open and put in cooked chicken, then broccoli, then sundried tomatoes, then provolone cheese thinly sliced,  drizzle some more Italian salad dressing over.  Place under the broiler open faced until cheese melts and gets a bit toasty.  Fold sandwich back together and ENJOY!
