Delicious served with a warm Ciabatta. Any leftover sauce can be frozen.


Chop onion and fry in a tiny bit of olive oil along with crushed garlic. Add diced chicken and fry until the outside is all sealed. Add some diced pepper fry for a couple more minutes, then add tinned chopped tomatoes, salt, pepper and some italian seasoning.


Either simmer on the stove for a while until chicken is cooked through, or transfer it to an oven proof dish with a tiny sprinkling of cheese on top and bake it in the oven for about 20 mins.

Sorry - forgot to add, cook the pasta as per the pack and mix in with the tomatoey/chickeny sauce!
I am just about to cook the following (any suggestions for improvement most welcome).

Brown chicken breasts in a little olive oil. Remove from pot.

Put finely chopped onion into pot and fry gently for about 6 minutes until softened but not browned. Add chopped garlic and chilli (optional) and fry for a further 3 minutes.

Return the chicken to the pot and add a tin of chopped tomatoes, fresh black pepper and some dried basil and oregano. Cover and simmer gently until chicken is just cooked - about 20 mins.

Reduce sauce if required and just before serving stir in lots of chopped fresh basil.

Can be served with pasta (and parmesan) or with plain rice or with nice bread.

Lots of variations: add chopped green pepper or white wine or mushrooms etc.

Bon apetite!
water, salt, black pepper, freshly squeeze orange juice and the zest from the orange, dash of caynne pepper, any herbs you might have around. dry is more potent than fresh so use less if using dry. you can also add sun dried tomatoes and capers. be innovative.
cook over low heat for 5 minutes. pour over grilled chicken and pasta. i did not give measurements, you use the seasoning to your taste and tolerance.
