I found this on a ww recipe board, but cant remember which site. Ingredients:
1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into 1/4-inch strips) |
1 onion (chopped) |
2 garlic cloves (minced) |
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes ((no salt added) |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground) |
1 teaspoon italian seasoning |
2 cups ziti pasta or 2 cups penne pasta |
2/3 cup fat-free ricotta cheese |
1/3 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese (shredded) |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. 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.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
3. 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.
4. Meanwhile, cook the ziti according to package directions. Drain and mix with the ricotta cheese.
5. 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.
6. Serves 4.
