Ingredients

Cooking Directions

Add the chicken breasts and cook until they are cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper to the skillet and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti noodles according to package instructions. When the sauce is done simmering, add the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Add the cooked spaghetti noodles to the skillet and toss to combine. Top with the shredded cheese and serve.
Serving Suggestions
This dish is delicious served with a side salad and garlic bread. You can also add some fresh chopped parsley or basil to the dish for a burst of fresh flavor.
