Italian Chicken and Spicy Tomato Sauce

"A wonderful quick and easy meal. I came up with this because I always have a ton of canned tomatoes on hand and a bunch of chicken. I wanted something different and low calorie. Once I snuck a bunch of broccoli VERY chopped up in here. I had to cook it forever so the husband couldn't tell it was in the dish, but it work like a charm! He still loved it!! Enjoy! (Pasta is included in the nutritional information, so cut back on that if you are watching your weight.)"

  1. Fantastic recipe, I added extra heat to mine. My wife has a thing about not eating chicken with pasta though - weirdo - so I served with rice and it worked wonderfully well.
     
  2. We served this for dinner last night. I doubled everything except for only using 3 large garlic cloves and only about 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. I used 3 tbsp tomato paste total and may even add a little more in the future to thicken it up a bit more. I did use the penne, but next time my husband suggested serving it over spaghetti noodles. This was an easy recipe and we'll be making it again in the future. Thanks!
     
  3. Good, quick recipe. Made my own spaghetti sauce, and my entire family liked it.
     
  4. I used fresh tomatoes for this one, and served it with white rice. This was really easy to make! I overdid the spicy part though (that's what I get for not following the measurements). But I love it. I'll be making this again.
