As I’m building more of a mileage base (despite last week’s low), I’m making more of an effort to get more protein in my diet. After all, women, lower weight, running and aging are the perfect blend for anemia – something I don’t want.
This week’s recipe is easy, peasy…
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup each, chopped onions and green pepper
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 can (19 ounces) tomatoes, undrained, cut
1 cup tomato sauce
1 can (5 1/2 ounces) tomato paste
1/2 cup dry white wine (optional, I don’t use it)
1 1/2 tsp. each, dried basil and oregano
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
12 ounces uncooked spaghetti or linguini
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all ingredients except pasta in a large bowl and mix well. Transfer mixture to a large casserole dish (or, save dishes and mix in the casserole dish too!). Cover and bake for 1 hour, until chicken is tender.
Ten minutes before cooking time has ended, prepare pasta according to pasta directions. Serve with chicken and sauce.
Makes 4 servings.

MMMM… that sounds delish and easy, I will have to try it, without the peppers, I am a wuss!
Sounds good – but what do you mean by tomato sauce? Chopped tomatoes, ketchup, or passata? I'm English so I'm not sure what that means in American!
I'd rather drink the wine than cook with it.
Great recipe, I usually add some finely julienned slices of ham, and dropped the black pepper and add cayenne. But let me know when yours will be done – I'll bring my own plate. yummy.
