How to make
There are a variety of ways to customize this easy meal.
Chicken: I like to use pre-cooked chicken breast strips like those from Tyson because it speeds up the preparation and cook time. But raw chicken breast, thigh, or wing meat could certainly be used. Just make sure to cook it fully before adding it to the tomatoes sauce.
Vegetables: Feel free to substitute the veggie mix for a different type of vegetable mix or use raw vegetables. The veggie mix I use has carrots, corn, peas and green beans.
Pasta: Substitute any type pasta, and choose whole wheat or whole grain pasta for a healthier option.
Sauce: The tomatoes with diced sweet onions and roasted garlic provide the flavor, and can be substituted for any type of tomato sauce or topping. But read the label before choosing your topping. Many sauces can be high in sodium and sugar, and cheese sauces are high in fat, so look for sauces that have less than 10% the daily recommended value of fat and sugar per serving.
