Spicy Tomato Chicken

The original recipe from Simply in Season called for tempeh, but we had chicken on hand and lots of tomatoes, so I decided to adapt it for use with chicken.

Ingredients:

2 Tbs olive oil

2 Tbs soy sauce

1 Tbs sesame oil

1 tsp paprika

16 ounces chicken breasts

1 green pepper (sliced)

1 onion (chopped)

2 cloves garlic (minced)

2 Tbs sesame oil

1 1/2 lbs tomatoes (chopped)

1 Tbs paprika

1/4 tsp crushed red chili flakes

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1 bay leaf

1 Tbs flour

8 ounces pasta

1. Combine olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, and paprika in a medium bowl. Stir fry with chicken until chicken is cooked through.

2. Meanwhile, saute’ the peppers, onions, and garlic until softened, about 10 minutes.

3. Add tomatoes and spices and cook over medium-high heat until the mixture starts to bubble, about 10 more minutes.

4. Add the flour and cook 2-3 minutes until thickened; add the chicken.

5. Serve over pasta.

Servings: 4

The Verdict: Although not super spicy, it had a good flavor and is a nice change of pace from regular old spaghetti.
