Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ ---------------------------------
1/2 pound skinless boneless chicken breast -- cut into 1/4" strips
1 onion -- chopped
2 garlic cloves -- minced
28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups ziti pasta
2/3 cup nonfat ricotta cheese
1/3 cup part skim milk mozzarella cheese -- shredded
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese -- grated
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 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 ricotta cheese.
Pour half of the tomato mixture into a 13x9 inch baking pan, layer with
the ziti mixture, the chicken, and the remaining tomato mixture. Sprinkle
with cheeses. Bake until hot and bubbling and the cheese is melted, 15-20
minutes.
