One Pot Italian Chicken Pasta Dinner

Ingredients

• 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into chunks or slices
• 1/2 onion chopped (or just a handful from freezer)
• 1/2 bell pepper chopped (I used red, but you could use anything -this is optional)
• salt & pepper to taste
• 2 tsp of Italian Seasoning
• 1 tsp Garlic or Garlic Salt (use fresh if you have it)
• 1 can diced tomatoes plus 1 can of water (just fill the can back up) -You could just use tomato sauce instead of the diced tomatoes if you prefer.
• 1/2 cup of Red Wine Vinegar
• 1/2 package of pasta (any kind will do -about 8 ounces)
• about 1 cup of cheese (optional)
• Another option: Add in chopped zucchini, we do this a lot to make it a complete meal!

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over med-high heat brown your chicken.
2. Let is sit for a while and allow it to get very brown (this ads flavor to your sauce)
3. Season liberally with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic.
4. Add onions, and bell pepper and cook until soft. (this is where you add in the zucchini)
5. Pour in 1 Can of tomatoes, red win vinegar and water.
6. Add pasta.
7. Heat to a boiling, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Allow to simmer for about 10 minutes or until pasta is cooked through.
8. Stir in cheese and enjoy!
