chicken cacciatore

Another wonderful meal adapted from Skinnytaste.com

• almost 2 lbs. chicken thighs or breasts, cut into cubes
• olive oil spray
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 14 oz cans diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup fat free chicken broth, more if needed
• 1 tsp dried oregano leaves
• 2 T fresh chopped basil leaves
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

• 6 cups cooked (12 oz uncooked) high fiber or whole wheat pasta 

Directions:

Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large heavy saute pan, heat the pan over a medium-high flame and spray with cooking oil. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and saute just until brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add the peppers, onion and garlic to the pan and saute over medium heat until the onion is tender, about 3-4 minutes.  Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes, broth, oregano, and basil.  

Cover the pan and bring the sauce to a simmer. Continue simmering over low heat until the chicken is just cooked through, about 10-15 minutes. Serve over whole wheat or high fiber pasta.
