Ingredients
3 ounces of chicken breast (palm-sized)
1 regular tomato or 12-15 cherry tomatoes, diced
1/8 onion, diced
1 clove of garlic, minced or diced
1 slice whole grain bread
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 tablespoon basil
1/4 teaspoon parsley
Other Ingredients
- 1 dash salt
- Crushed red pepper- to taste

Instructions
The Tomato Sauce and Chicken
Step 1:
Cut up the tomatoes, onion, and garlic into small chunks.
Step 2:
Bring your saucepan to medium heat then add in your olive oil, onion and garlic, and let them simmer for two minutes.
Step 3:
After the 2 minutes, add in the tomatoes an all of the herbs & spices. Mix the ingredients and cover for 5 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally. When you stir, try to crush up the tomatoes to progress them into a sauce quicker.
Step 4:
After the 5 minutes of your sauce simmering, add in the chicken and stir the contents to spread the flavor. Cover again for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Note: When stirring, try to spread the tomatoes/sauce over the chicken and move the chicken around the pan to spread the flavor evenly.
The Bread and Bringing it all Together
Step 1:
When there is a few minutes left on the chicken either toast or broil your bread to your desired crispness.
Step 2:
Your chicken should be cooked and bread toasted. Spread the sauce and chicken across your bread and top with 1 ounce of parmesan cheese, or a cheese of your choosing.
Leave the cheese to sit in the sandwich for a couple minutes to melt the cheese and cool the sandwich, so you do not burn your mouth!
