Tips & Notes
・Coating the chicken in flour helps it stay tender and prevents it from drying out while cooking.
・Because no water is added, the sauce stays thick and rich, clinging perfectly to the ingredients.
・Leftover diced tomatoes can be frozen in a resealable bag for future use.
・Serve with rice, bread, or pasta for a complete meal!
