Italian Chicken Saute'

This is a total comfort food meal it will fill your house with such pleasant aromas you just wont know if you can wait to eat it or not. I started off making Chicken Alfredo then I came across this recipe and tweaked it to the ingredients I had available. I am making mine with broccoli and a crispy baguette of bread.

• 1 14.5 oz. diced tomatoes
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
• 1/2 cup sweet peppers green, chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 garlic clove minced
• 1 cup mushrooms sliced
• 1 cup zucchini sliced
• 2 Tbsp. capers or broccoli
  
• 1 Tbsp. fresh basil chopped or 1 tsp. dried basil leaves, crushed
• 1/2 tsp. italian seasoning
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. red pepper; red pepper flakes crushed
• 1 Tbsp. cornstarch I like mine saucy so I skipped this step
