Ingredients

1 Tbsp. flour
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
1½ lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1 tsp. olive oil
1 cup. dry white wine
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14.5 oz.) can no-salt-added crushed tomatoes
1 tsp. salt-free Italian herb seasoning
12 oz. pasta shells, cooked

Optional Garnishes*:

¼ cup. chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Preheat the oven to 300°F.
In a small bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and pepper.
Toss chicken with the flour mixture, discarding excess flour.
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on all sides (2-3 minutes).
Pour the wine into the Dutch oven, scraping to dislodge any browned bits. Stir in the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the undrained tomatoes and herb seasoning. Bring to a boil.
Bake, covered, for 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and no longer pink in the center.
Top hot pasta with the chicken mixture. Sprinkle with the parsley.
