Sounds like it has potential, however it is not clear what to do at the end. How do you integrate the tomatoes mixture, chicken and pasta. I did put the chicken back to a pan and get it a little brown golden to make it look more inviting

This was a pretty good recipe. I'm not sure I understand the use of the chicken stock to cook the chicken and then apparently discarding it. I simply sauteed the chicken with oil, salt and garlic powder in olive oil and added it to the sauce. Also I put in some roughly chopped green olives which gave it a little surprise tang in each bite and seasoned the sauce with dried basil and oregano. Turned out quite well.
