Grilled Chicken with Roasted Tomato and Oregano Salsa


I found this on pinterest and we made this a couple days ago and it is amazingly delicious! Oh my gosh, the flavor! It's easy and so so yummy. I had it over rice and Greg had it over Quinoa. I was craving rice for some reason and I only had enough for one person, so I just finished it off. We had Baked potatoes with it too! I highly recommend it!
