4 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds chicken, cooked and chopped
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with garlic, basil and oregano

  • In large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook 3 minutes, or until tender. Stir in chicken, tomatoes and cream. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, let boil for about 3 minutes. Reduce heat, and simmer until sauce is slightly thickened.
