You need

To buy

  • 14 oz can canned crushed tomatoes

From your shelf

  • 6 oz Snackers pizza flavor chicken breast and vegetables breaded patties

Staples

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the patties and cook until golden brown and warmed through, about 10 minutes total, turning halfway. Move them to a plate.
  2. Chop 2 cloves garlic finely. Add to the same skillet with 1 can of 14 oz crushed tomatoes and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 8 minutes. While the sauce cooks, bring water to boil for pasta or warm up greens if serving alongside.
  3. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Return the patties to the pan to warm through in the sauce for 2 minutes, then serve.

Note Swap the canned tomatoes for marinara sauce or even salsa if that is what you have. Leftovers keep three days refrigerated and reheat gently in a covered skillet. Serve over pasta, rice, or a green salad.
