Ok. So I modded a little. As we all know recipes are template with change to pallet accepted!
I added cilantro, some extra spice, and i used crushed tomatoes, and fresh, since I didnt have any chopped on hand. I also added some spinach. I drizzled it with sesame oil, and added sesame seeds after it was done. FAB. Thank you!!!

This meal was delicious - it was simple to prepare and make. I added additional garlic and a teaspoon garlic mayonnaise to the tomato sauce. By cooking the chicken first with the garlic and onion the sauce was more plentiful.
This is a relatively light meal - filling but does not make you uncomfortably full as can happen with pasta meals
