Super Easy 3 Ingredient MexItalian Meat Sauce

Tonight I wanted to make something super simple for dinner with what I had on-hand. I wanted something like a spaghetti sauce but over rice... so I came up with this. The sauce only has 3 ingredients!

This was honestly one of the simplest recipes I've ever made, but it tasted great for what it was. You could add any seasonings or extra veggies that you want, but I'm just saying it was also fine without.  (I actually started to chop up bell pepper to add to it but then changed my mind and decided to stick with the simplicity of the 3 ingredients!). I think this would also be good with ground beef instead of the chicken.

Super Easy 3 Ingredient MexItalian Meat Sauce
Yield:  6 servings

1 jar of pasta sauce
1 cup of salsa
9oz cooked chicken breast (I keep this recipe in my freezer for recipes that call for pre-cooked chicken breasts)

Rice for serving

Directions:
  1. Place chicken, pasta sauce and salsa in a medium sauce pan.
  2. Bring sauce to a boil, stirring occasionally to break up the chicken meat. Then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  3. Serve over rice.
I put Parmesan cheese over my serving. Tasted great!
