Hi all,

TIPS/HINTS
I halve this recipe and only use 2 chicken fillets and half the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. I don't bother about halving anything else and it still works really well.

thermo 18 - This was a really nice meal, only did the 2 chicken breasts and the one tin of tomatoes and 70g tomato paste as suggested. Next time, and there will be a next time, I might add 1 more garlic and I would put the chicken in with the sauce already cut in strips and cook for 15 minutes. A good meal, quick and simply that everyone would enjoy.
