Chicks with Tomatoes
From:	Jean-Claude B., Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Comments:	Oven: 700 watts Waiting time: 5 minutes An excellent dish that can be served at dinner, along with oven-baked potatoes or any pasta. So that the chicks are nicely colored, do not forget to brush chicks with a brown or barbecue sauce, once before cooking and once at half-time. Just before serving, chicks can be lightly sprinkled with paprika or microwave seasonings.
