Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 whole bell peppers sliced
1 whole yellow onion sliced
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 cloves garlic minced
28 ounces whole tomatoes drained and cut each tomato into fours
24 ounces favorite pasta sauce (I LOVE Mezzetta Tomato and Sweet Basil)
14 ounces black olives drained
4 whole boneless skinless chicken breast halves

Instructions

Heat olive oil over medium-high heat and cook peppers and onion with salt until just barely tender. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
Pour cut tomatoes, pasta sauce, and drained olives into the pan, stir and bring to a simmer.
Place chicken breasts into the sauce, submerging each breast completely into the sauce. Bring back to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
Remove chicken breasts from sauce, shred, return to the sauce and serve over rice, pasta, or egg noodles with parmesan cheese.
