My husband and I made up this recipe as we went along, and we love the way it turned out. It reminds us me something found at Italian restaurants. -Angela Schellenberg of Steinbach, Manitoba

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon pepper

I gave this a 5 star review because it is worth 5 stars! I omitted the chicken breasts in the recipe and I used cooked rice in place of the pasta, but otherwise I followed the recipe as it is written. Oh, and I should admit I had my own tomatoe sauce in the frig because I had made some homemade salsa the day before and I saved the juice I had to strain so my salsa would be more dense and less soupy in texture.

I really liked this recipe. I left out the carrots though since I don't care for them and I added some fresh rosemary.
