Recipe of the Week: Italian Chicken with Crushed Tomatoes and Mushrooms

Love Italian food and want a quick meal to get on the table? Then here's a recipe you're going to love!

This recipe is based on one shared by Suzy from The Mediterranean Dish website. I've made her version step-by-step and it's so fresh and delicious thanks to the ripe grape tomatoes.

However, I ran into a problem the other night when I went to make this dish. So, I had to improvise.

When I went to take the tomatoes out of the fridge, I quickly noticed they were rotted. UGH! For a moment, I panicked.

Fortunately, I had a can of crushed tomatoes in my pantry and decided to experiment. 

And here we are because it turned out pretty darned delicious!

Helpful Tips for making Italian Chicken with Crushed Tomatoes and Mushrooms

• I only had a 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes, so I measured out what I thought would be good amount. You might want a little more or less, depending on how much sauce you like.  Don't be afraid to experiment!
• You can buy whole chicken breasts and simply cut them down to smaller sizes and pound them to similar thicknesses to help make sure they cook evenly. You want them to cook pretty quickly so the sauce and meat doesn't dry out!
• I served this dish with a cup of thin spaghetti. It was a perfect-sized portion!  You an also try it with a salad and some fresh bread, spiraled zucchini, or even rice.
