Fresh Ingredients Make A Difference

While some of the ingredients, like the chicken breast, might come from frozen meat, that is ok.
The diced tomatoes are canned, but by adding some fresh cut tomato wedges as a garnish it enhances the dish.
The type of pasta you use is totally up to you.
I chose a spiral pasta, but you could use macaroni, fettuccine, whatever type of pasta your family prefers.
I am not personally a fan of onions, so I leave that out and just add in a little extra garlic.
I also do not care for mushrooms, which is why you don’t see them in my photo.
