Everyone has a great pasta sauce! This is a simple one you can make on the fly that your family will love... Add in your favorite spaghetti noodles, pinch of Parmesan cheese on top and it's magic!
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- ½ red onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1/2" pieces
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp coarse black pepper
- 12 oz canned Italian style stewed tomatoes (or make your own stewed tomatoes if you have time)

- 15 cremini mushrooms, diced
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 tsp fresh oregano, finely chopped

- 1 tbsp bacon fat (I save all my bacon fat in a jar after cooking it and store it in the fridge for later use. If you don't have this, don't worry it's still awesome without it!)
