  1. I do this recipe with a twist. I home can quart jars with pickled cherry tomatoes with onions for cooking. I brown my chicken breast on high heat then I bake it rather than using a skillet. I drain the pickling juice and spread tomatoes and onion into a glass baking dish with a little bit of pickling juice and bake them for about 10 minutes I then added browned chicken breast and I bake until chicken is done. I personally don’t eat the cooked pickled tomatoes. If I did a quick pickling I might. Canned pickled tomatoes and onions are pretty strong to the taste buds. I do like skillet warm cherry tomatoes and caramelized with my protein. I will have to try it with sausage.
