--------  ------------  ---------------------------------
     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.
