Chicken and Roasted Tomato Salad

Sun-dried tomatoes may be substituted for the roasted tomatoes in order to save time. Dry-packed tomatoes should be soaked in hot water for about 20 minutes, then drained and chopped. Oil-packed tomatoes need only be removed from the oil and chopped. Use 1 cup dry-packed tomatoes or 1 cup drained oil-packed tomatoes in place of the roasted ones.
