From the Test Kitchen

To celebrate the vibrant flavors of summer, we’re making a tomato pan sauce to top simply seared chicken by cooking fresh tomatoes with butter and garlic in the chicken’s fond. Classic potato salad is elevated by bites of pickled peppers, crunchy celery, and hard-boiled eggs, whose yolks provide even more rich, savory flavor.
