WW's Italian Chicken Skillet

WW's Italian Chicken Skillet

This one is so good, I was drooling while it was cooking!!

(shared by friend Danette from Core Recipe Book)

2 tsp olive oil

2 onion, chopped (I just used one large one)

1 carrot, chopped

1 celery stalk, sliced3

/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into strips, or chicken tenders

1 (14 1/2 oz) can crushed tomatoes

1 tbsp fresh chopped basil, or 1 tsp dried

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground pepper*

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over med-high heat. Add the onions, carrot, and celery: cook stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 min. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occassionally, until opaque, about 5 min. Stir in the tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are blended and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 min.

1 1/2 c serving = 3 pts

whole wheat penne makes a nice accompaniment to this dish (2/3 c cooked penne for each serving will increase the points value by 2)
