Chicken Cacciatore by

Ingredients

* 6 chicken thighs, skin and fat removed
* olive oil spray
* 1 red bell pepper, chopped
* 1 cup chopped mushrooms
* 1/2 onion, chopped
* 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
* 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
* 3/4 cup fat free chicken broth
* 1 tsp dried oregano leaves
* 1/2 cup fresh chopped basil leaves
* salt and freshly ground black pepper
* 6 cups cooked (12 oz uncooked) high fiber or whole wheat pasta

Instructions

Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large heavy saute pan, heat the pan over a medium-high flame and spray with cooking oil. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and saute just until brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add the peppers, onion and garlic to the pan and saute over medium heat until the onion is tender, about 3-4 minutes, then add mushrooms and cook another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes, broth, and oregano. Cover the pan and bring the sauce to a simmer. Continue simmering over low heat until the chicken is just cooked through, about 25 minutes. Add the chopped basil 5 minutes before sauce is done. Serve over whole wheat or high fiber pasta like Ronzoni Smart Taste.
