This recipe is remarkably tasty. You may be tired of chicken meals by now, but chicken is nutritious and is much cheaper than other meat options. Well, unless you’ve just won the lottery that is.

 

CHICKEN CACCIATORE (Sort of)

4 servings

 

3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (3/4 to 1 lb)

1 tbsp olive or vegetable oil

1 medium onion, chopped (½ cup)

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

½ cup chopped green bell pepper

¾ cup sliced zucchini or yellow summer squash

¾ cup sliced mushrooms

1 can (14½ oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

½ tsp Italian seasoning

1/8 tsp pepper

4 cups hot cooked radiatore (nugget), farfalle (bow-tie) or rotini pasta

 

Cut each chicken breast half crosswise into 3 pieces. Heat oil in 10” pan over medium-high heat. Stir-fry chicken in oil about 5 minutes or until brown; move chicken to one side of skillet. Add onion, garlic, bell pepper, zucchini and mushrooms to other side of skillet: Cook vegetables about 3 min stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender.  Stir tomatoes, Italian seasoning and pepper into vegetables and chicken.  Heat to boiling; reduce heat.  Cover and simmer 25 minutes.  Uncover and simmer 5 min. longer.  Serve over pasta.
