OMG! You've got to try this! My DH created this 10 years ago. I forgot how wonderful it tastes. There was a time where we had this at least once a week! I'm posting this in response to someone had 3 chicken breasts and wanted a quick and easy recipe that would feed 5. This will feed five, but they will be fighting over the leftovers (if there are any!).

CHICKEN MARINARA



Chicken Marinara image

I am posting this because an Italian patient of mine didn't have any family recipes passed on to him (due to adoption). Now I can just print it out if need ever arises again! lol This is the recipe my Sicilian mother and grandmother taught me. It is simple, delicious and one of my favorite comfort foods. It is much quicker than marinara with beef or pork (i.e. sausage or meatballs)--ENJOY! And please don't tell my grandmother I posted this family recipe online.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
14 ounces water
5 garlic cloves
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
1 large yellow onion, sliced (optional)
1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
parmesan cheese (optional)
1/4 cup red wine (optional)
16 ounces pasta (spaghetti, angel hair, penne, etc)

Steps:

  • Sauté garlic in 1 Tbsp olive oil until lightly brown and set aside. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces.
  • Cook chicken, mushrooms and onion in same skillet with remaining olive oil until chicken is white throughout, seasoning with salt and pepper as preferred.
  • Add tomato paste, cooked garlic and mix well.
  • Add crushed tomatoes, basil, and water and mix well. Bring to boil, then lower to a simmer and covering sauce with a lid for an hour. Stir occasionally and season with salt and pepper as desired.
  • Midway, add wine and stir well and resume covered simmering.
  • During last fifteen minutes or so, cook pasta according to directions on package.
  • In large bowl, pour sauce over cooked pasta and mix well.
  • Sprinkle cheese on top and serve!

Tips:

  • Use the best quality chicken you can find. Free-range or organic chicken will have a better flavor than conventionally raised chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat until it is golden brown on all sides. This will help to seal in the juices and prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Use a good quality marinara sauce. You can either make your own or use a store-bought sauce. If you are using a store-bought sauce, be sure to choose one that is low in sugar and sodium.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite pasta or rice. You can also serve it with roasted vegetables or a salad.

Conclusion:
