italian chicken pasta: 99¢

I was craving chicken tonight and was planning on making a casserole, but then got lazy and just made a pasta instead. it turned out really delicious!

ingredients I'm charging you for:
1/8 green bell pepper (9.9¢)
1/3 chicken breast (33.3¢)
1/4 container tomato sauce (25¢)
1/2 yellow onion (8.1¢)
1/3 pound pasta (19.8¢)
1 garlic clove (2.7¢)

incidental ingredients (you should have these lying around):
oregano
salt
lemon pepper
olive oil

- cook the pasta to preference.
- chop up the bell pepper and onion and mince the garlic.
- heat a dash of olive oil in a frying pan and toss in the onion and garlic. saute on medium heat for about a minute.
- cut the chicken into tiny pieces and saute until just cooked. add the spices and finely chopped bell pepper.
- add the tomato sauce and turn the heat to low. let simmer for two minutes. serve over pasta.

this is easily doubled or even quadrupled and saved for a later lunch - the flavor gets better with time.
