Chicken with Tomatoes and Garlic

I love The Pioneer Woman. I recently stumbled upon her website and haven't looked back since. Her humor leaves me giggling, her talent leaves me in awe, her dog makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, her story about her and Marlboro Man makes me swoon, her photography makes me want to learn more and her recipes make me salivate. I could keep going but you get the point.

So a few days (or was it weeks ago?) when she posted her recipe here for Chicken with Tomatoes and Garlic, I knew it was only a matter time before I tried it. If you've ever visited her site, you can imagine the saliva dripping from my mouth at I read through it all. It looked amazing and I was positive I could make it for less than $10. And sure enough, I did. I bought a tray of natural chicken legs at Sprouts for $2.50, a couple cans of diced tomatoes for less than $2, a clove of garlic for less than $1, and whole wheat rotini pasta for less then $3. I had basil and oregano in my spice rack, olive oil in the cupboard and since I have a love affair with margarine, we were set. Awesomeness.

And the end product? Everyone loved it!! Little Miss B kept quiet the entire dinner as she shoveled handfuls in her mouth at a time, my darling husband complimented me on tasty, light, pasta-like meal and I was pleased to enjoy the taste of both the chicken and the tomato sauce and how they complimented one another.

Definitely recommended.
