I sauteed the chicken pieces in a little olive oil and then added the sauce. I simmer the chicken in the sauce at a low boil. I then added some bread crumbs (about an 1/8 of a cup for this plate) oregano, and mozzarella cheese.

It was 30 minutes from start to finish and could easily be accomplished from scratch with a chicken breast and some tomato sauce. Give it a try and let me know what you think…
