Chicken Pomodoro

 

This healthy chicken Pomodoro I have been cooking for about 20 years. It’s super simple and tasty too. You can easily trade out the whole wheat pasta for your favorite pasta. I don’t always use wheat myself. The breading on the chicken and the sauteed veggies is what makes this so yummy.
