- add review
- #2880
30-60 minutes
ingredients
1/2 pound skinless boneless chicken breast, cut into 1/4" strips
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28 ounce size) crushed tomatoes (no salt added)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 cups ziti or penne pasta
2/3 cup nonfat ricotta cheese
1/3 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
directions
Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray; heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning as needed, until lightly browned, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Spray the same skillet with more nonstick cooking spray. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring as needed, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, Italian seasoning and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring as needed, until the mixture is thickened slightly, 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the ziti according to package directions. Drain and mix with the ricotta cheese.
Pour half of the tomato mixture into a 13X9" baking pan, layer with the ziti mixture, the chicken and the remaining tomato mixture. Sprinkle with the cheeses. Bake until hot and bubbling and the cheese is melted, 15-20 minutes.
