    Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet lined with foil, reserving the marinade. Bake for 15 minutes, basting with the marinade 2-3 times. Continue baking until juices run clear when the chicken is pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes longer. Keep warm. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan. Slice the tomatoes in half, toss with Italian seasoning and add to the pot. Saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Arrange the tomatoes around the chicken. Garnish with parsley to serve.
