Lemon Pepper Chicken with Goat Cheese, Tomatoes, and Basil

I threw this meal together the other night.  Basically we had a tomato and goat cheese that needed to be used...of course, there's pretty much always frozen chicken breasts on hand... It was very simple, yet there was a lot to taste and savor.  For the chicken, I just thawed it, sprinkled on lemon pepper seasoning and popped it on the George Foreman grill for a bit.  As it was cooking, I sliced up my tomato and got the oven broiling a little.  Once the chicken was almost done, I pulled it off the grill and placed it on a pan to go into the oven.  I topped the chicken with goat cheese, basil, tomatoes, and some fresh, coarse-ground black pepper.  I put it in the oven until the chicken was thoroughly cooked and the cheese was melt-y.  Yum!  I just use a steam-in-the-bag veggie mix for the side.  I think cooking a main course and side from "scratch" is too much for most weeknights...
