I've made this countless times for my boyfriend and I - it comes out sooo yummy.
Note: I did not invent this, it comes from Red Mountain Spa's executive chef Chad S. Luethje. Enjoy!!

Preparation
Combine first 8 ingredients in a plastic bag. Add chicken; marinate at least 30 minutes. Heat oven to 400°F. Cover a baking tray with foil. To make salsa, spread tomatoes on tray; drizzle with oil. Add salt and pepper. Bake until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Combine tomatoes, shallots, onion, jalapeņo, garlic and oregano in a bowl. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade; cook 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, flip chicken and add leftover marinade to pan. Cook 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
