List of Ingredients
1 jar (approx. 3 cups/700 ml) prepared speghetti sauce
2 cans (14 oz./398 ml each) diced tomatoes
2 cans (5.5 oz./156 ml each) tomato paste
4 tsp. dried basil
2 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. dried garlic chips
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
3/4 cup diced onion
3/4 cup diced green pepper
3/4 cup sliced celery
8 to 10 skinless, boneless chicken breastsRecipe
In a large bowl, combine first nine ingredients. Stir to blend well.
In a small fry pan, saute celery in a bit of olive oil for about 1 minute; add onion, saute a further minute; add green pepper and saute for another 2 minutes.
Stir vegetables into tomato sauce.
Using two 9x13" glass dishes, spread out about 1/2 cup of the sauce over bottom of dishes. Place 4 or 5 pieces of chicken in each dish. Cover the chicken completely, dividing the remaining sauce equally between the two dishes.
You can cover and refrigerate until ready to cook OR...
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
If you have assembled the dishes beforehand, bring them out while the oven is heating up. About 20 minutes.
Cover dishes with foil, piercing it a few times for ventilation.
Bake for 40 minutes.
Remove chicken to serving platter. Transfer tomato sauce to a bowl, using some to lightly coat pasta. Place remaining sauce on serving table for anyone who wants more.
Serve with hot, cooked pasta, a Ceasar salad and garlic bread.
NOTE: Don't be afraid to keep the leftovers. This tastes great the next day, too.
