Steps:
- Heat oil in a large pan (big enough for the entire dish) and saute onions & garlic and brown chicken.
- Add the tomatos, paste and vegetables.
- Add all herbs and seasoning.
- Bring sauce to a boil and then simmer for 20-30 minutes.
- Once sauce is set to simmer, prepare pasta.
- When water for pasta is boiling, add the bocconcini to the sauce and stir through. You're aiming for the cheese to be a little melty but still hold most of it's shape.
- When pasta is ready, serve and enjoy!
- Belissimo!
CHICKEN WITH CHUNKY LEMON SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Season the chicken and place chicken pieces, skin side down, onto a broiler pan. Broil the chicken, turning the pieces over once, cooking until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- Slice off 1 end of each of 3 lemons. With a sharp knife, supreme lemons: in a downward motion, peel away rind and pith. Separate segments of lemon wedges from skin and put in a bowl. Squeeze out juice from leftover skins. Juice the other 3 lemons into same bowl. Add oil, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Once chicken is cooked, remove from the broiler and cover with sauce. Return to broiler and cook for 5 minutes. Remove and serve.
CHUNKY CHICKEN CACCIATORE
This healthy pasta recipe is so versatile! Look in your fridge for anything else you want to throw in, like red pepper, mushrooms, extra zucchini-you name it. And if you're a vegetarian, go ahead and leave out the chicken. -Stephanie Loaiza, Layton, Utah

CHICKEN WITH DELICIOUS SPICY TOMATO SAUCE
The sauce from this dish can be used with enchiladas or burritos, just cook down a bit before using. When I made this recipe I added in about 3/4 cup salsa to the sauce when cooking. The sauce from this is just delicious and is low-fat too. This has become one of our favorite chicken dishes, my family loves this! Add in large chunks of zucchini also if desired and if you prefer more heat add in a chopped jalapeno or increase the crushed chili flakes. This can also be made in a crockpot with great results. If you are planning to make more than 6 pieces of chicken then double the sauce recipe. You will love this!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for high-quality chicken breasts, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful herbs.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in a soggy dish.
- Cook the chicken until it is golden brown: Don't be afraid to cook the chicken until it is golden brown. This will give the chicken a nice, crispy exterior and will help to seal in the juices.
- Use a good quality chunky tomato sauce: The chunky tomato sauce is the star of this dish, so make sure to use a good quality sauce. You can either make your own or use a store-bought sauce.
- Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Add them at the end of cooking to preserve their flavor.
Conclusion:
Chicken bocconcini with delicious chunky sauce is a quick, easy, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the sauce is rich and flavorful, and the whole dish comes together in just 30 minutes. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family!
