Flatten the chicken breasts to about a half inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper
Step 2
Grill chicken breasts on the barbeque or pan fry them in the olive oil.

Cook your chicken breasts in advance and slice or dice them and set aside. I have even cooked them the day before and used them cold out of the fridge.

Add about 3 tbsp olive oil to a large dutch oven over medium low heat.

Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add tomato sauce, brown sugar, fresh basil or oregano, bacon, peppers, tomato, olives, chilli flakes, salt and pepper to taste. I like lots of pepper in this recipe.
