# Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap in foil. Roast for about 30-40 minutes, until soft and caramelized.

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
