I had some cooked chicken to use up and a jar of my Roasted Tomato and Garlic Sauce sitting in my fridge, so put together this nice filling lunch for me and my son today. He loved it!!

He is a bit fussy with certain vegetables, so this is a great way of getting some into his diet and of course mine too (although I actually love my vegetables)
