Instructions

- Reduce the temperature and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Cook the pasta to the packet instructions while the sauce simmers and serve together.
Notes
- I brown my chicken in the oven so that I can save time and fry the onions, garlic, and peppers while it cooks. You can fry it in a pan if you prefer.
- If using mini fillets, you can either leave them whole or dice them.
- Simmer for a little longer if your sauce is still too thin and add a little water if it is drying out.
- Nutritional information does not include pasta, see the packet you use for full information.
