CHICKEN WITH DELICIOUS SPICY TOMATO SAUCE



Chicken With Delicious Spicy Tomato Sauce image

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!
