Ingredients
- 1 to 1-1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, diced or whole (alternative: use 4-6 pieces of bone-in chicken pieces), seasoned with salt and pepper to taste
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms
- 1 bottle Mesa de Vida Mediterranean inspired cooking sauce
- 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
- Salt to taste
- Hot cooked pasta
- Optional: grated parmesan cheese for topping
Directions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add a bit of healthy oil/fat of your choice to coat the skillet, or oil the chicken itself when seasoning (optional if using a non-stick skillet), then add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on all sides, but not cooked through.
- Push the chicken to the side of the skillet and add the mushrooms to the other side. Stir and cook until any liquid released from the mushrooms evaporates, about 5 minutes. Stir the chicken and mushrooms together, and continue to cook until any liquid has fully cooked off.
- Stir in the Mesa de Vida Mediterranean inspired cooking sauce, stir and cook about 30 seconds. Add the canned diced tomatoes and salt to taste.
- Bring to a simmer, cover and lower the heat to low. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked through (about 10 minutes for diced chicken, up to 30 minutes for bone-in chicken pieces). Meanwhile, cook your pasta according to package directions.
- Serve the saucy chicken over the pasta and add parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!
