Ingredients

  • Spice Blend2 Tbs dried Italian herb seasoning, crumbled between the fingers
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • Sauce3 Tbs olive oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 large green bell pepper, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1 (8-counce) package sliced mushrooms (about 2 1/2 cups)
  • 1 Tbs jarred minced garlic
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes in puree
  • 1/2 cup fat-free less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, cut into serving pieces
  • Pasta12 oz spaghetti, cooked according to package directions and kept warm

Directions

  • Make the spice blend: Stir the ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Make the sauce: Lightly coat a Dutch oven with nonstick cooking spray. Add the oil and warm over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is clear and the pepper is soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic spice blend, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Add the tomatoes, broth, wine, and bay leaves. Stir well and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Add the chicken, turn the heat to medium-low, and simmer, covered, until the mixture thickens and is heated through, about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally. Remove the bay leaves. Spoon the sauce over the spaghetti, place the chicken pieces on top, and serve immediately.
