Italian Skillet Chicken

This recipe was also found in a WW cookbook ("Turnaround").  This was very tasty.  Add a cup of cooked whole wheat pasta (2 oz dry) to each serving and add 3 points per serving.  Basically, what I did was cook 8 oz dry of whole wheat pasta then tossed it all together when done and split into 4 servings.

Italian Skillet-Chicken
Serves: 4
Points: 3 (6 with the pasta as mentioned above)

Ingredients

2 tsp olive oil
2 onions, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 celery stalk, sliced
3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into strips
1 (14 1/2 oz can) crushed tomatoes
1 tbsp chopped fresh basil (or 1 tsp dried)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

Instructions

1) Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-hig heat.  Add the onions, carrot and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes.  Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque, about 5 minutes.  Stir in the tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper.  Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are blended and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
