Lazy or jarred minced garlic can be used if you prefer. 1 teaspoon is equal to one clove.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cream cheese:<\/strong> Light Cream cheese lends a rich and creamy texture to the sauce, creating a luscious and indulgent base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh ripe tomatoes and tomato paste:<\/strong> The combination of fresh tomatoes and tomato paste forms the essence of the sauce, providing a vibrant colour and robust tomato flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chicken stock:<\/strong> Chicken stock adds depth of flavour and helps to thin out the sauce, creating a balanced and savoury base. It's essential to use the correct ratio of stock cubes to water, as not all stock cubes are identical. Using too few can lead to a bland, watery broth, while too many may create a stock that's overly salty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Paprika: <\/strong>Sweet paprika contributes a mild sweetness and vibrant colour to the dish, enhancing its flavour profile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt and pepper: <\/strong>These basic yet essential flavour enhancers are key for elevating the taste of your dishes. No food will ever be bland when these are used to season to taste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low-calorie olive oil spray:<\/strong> Used for cooking the chicken, this spray adds minimal calories while providing a light coating for saut\u00e9ing. Use your preferred choice of low calorie spray, I prefer spray oils without any added emulsifiers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh parsley<\/strong>: Fresh parsley adds a pop of colour and freshness to the dish, as well as a hint of herbaceous flavour for garnishing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See the recipe card for specific quantities and instructions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"how-to-peel-fresh-tomatoes-with-ease\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to <\/strong>Peel Fresh Tomatoes with Ease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Peeling fresh tomatoes can be a simple task, especially with the right method. A serrated peeler is a handy tool for effortlessly removing the skin from tomatoes without the need for blanching. Begin by washing the tomatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or impurities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, with a gentle yet firm grip, use the serrated peeler to glide along the surface of the tomato, starting from the top and working your way down. The serrated edges of the peeler will catch and lift the skin away from the flesh, allowing you to peel it off easily in strips. Continue peeling until all the skin is removed, revealing the smooth and succulent flesh underneath. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is quick, efficient, and leaves you with perfectly peeled tomatoes ready to use in your sauce.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1812\" data-pin-description=\"Creamy Chicken and Tomatoes - Succulent pieces of chicken thigh simmered in a creamy, flavourful tomato sauce, ideal for pairing with cooked pasta, rice or a variety of sides.\" data-pin-title=\"Creamy Chicken and Tomatoes\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-4-1.jpg\" alt=\"creamy chicken and tomatoes in a non stick frying pan with a wooden spoon placed in pan\" class=\"wp-image-42733\" title=\"Creamy Chicken and Tomatoes - Succulent pieces of chicken thigh simmered in a creamy, flavourful tomato sauce, ideal for pairing with cooked pasta, rice or a variety of sides.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-4-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-4-1-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-4-1-768x1160.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-4-1-1017x1536.jpg 1017w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-4-1-720x1087.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-4-1-360x544.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-4-1-180x272.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-4-1-560x846.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-4-1-150x227.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"why-fresh-tomatoes-are-preferred\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Fresh Tomatoes Are Preferred<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Opting for fresh tomatoes over canned varieties offers numerous advantages. Fresh tomatoes impart a vibrant, garden-fresh flavour to your sauce, elevating its taste. They also provide a juicy, tender texture, enhancing the sauce's overall mouthfeel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using fresh tomatoes grants you better control over the sauce's acidity levels, ensuring a well-balanced flavour profile. Unlike canned tomatoes, which can sometimes be overly acidic, fresh tomatoes offer a milder, more nuanced taste that complements various ingredients.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"best-fresh-tomatoes-for-sauces\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Fresh Tomatoes for Sauces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to creating a delicious sauce, choosing the right type of fresh tomatoes is paramount. Varieties such as Roma, San Marzano, and Large Vine tomatoes are revered for their meaty texture and low moisture content, making them ideal candidates for sauces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tomatoes boast a rich, robust flavour that intensifies when cooked. Selecting the best fresh tomatoes ensures a sauce that's bursting with freshness and flavour, elevating your culinary endeavors to new heights.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1812\" data-pin-description=\"Creamy Chicken and Tomatoes - Succulent pieces of chicken thigh simmered in a creamy, flavourful tomato sauce, ideal for pairing with cooked pasta, rice or a variety of sides.\" data-pin-title=\"Creamy Chicken and Tomatoes\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-8-1.jpg\" alt=\"creamy chicken and tomatoes in a frying pan with cooked pasta, sprinkled with parsley\" class=\"wp-image-42735\" title=\"Creamy Chicken and Tomatoes - Succulent pieces of chicken thigh simmered in a creamy, flavourful tomato sauce, ideal for pairing with cooked pasta, rice or a variety of sides.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-8-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-8-1-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-8-1-768x1160.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-8-1-1017x1536.jpg 1017w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-8-1-720x1087.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-8-1-360x544.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-8-1-180x272.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-8-1-560x846.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes-8-1-150x227.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"sides-for-creamy-chicken-and-tomatoes\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sides for Creamy Chicken and Tomatoes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some options of sides to serve with Creamy Chicken and Tomatoes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>My Preferred Choice is Pasta with Grated Cheese:<\/strong> Serve the creamy chicken and tomatoes over a bed of cooked pasta, such as spaghetti or penne, and top it off with a generous sprinkle of grated cheese. Parmesan cheese adds a nutty and salty flavor, while cheddar cheese provides a creamy and sharp taste, enhancing the richness of the dish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rice:<\/strong> Fluffy white or brown rice makes an excellent side dish for creamy chicken and tomatoes.

Broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and courgette (zucchini) are excellent choices. The freshness and crunch of the vegetables balance out the creaminess of the sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/garlic-and-herb-roast-potatoes\">Golden Roasted Garlic and Herb Potatoes:<\/a><\/strong> Elevate your meal with golden roasted potatoes seasoned with garlic and herbs. Simply toss baby potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper, then roast them until crispy and golden brown. The crispy exterior and tender interior of the potatoes complement the creamy chicken and tomatoes, adding texture and flavor to the dish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mixed Vibrant Side Salad: <\/strong>Prepare a refreshing side salad with a variety of fresh greens, such as lettuce, spinach, arugula, and kale.

Chicken breast can be used as an alternative, but it may release more water during cooking, potentially diluting the sauce's flavour. Searing the chicken breast before adding it to the sauce can help mitigate this issue.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1711800304476\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is this recipe suitable for freezing?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, creamy chicken and tomatoes can be frozen. Make sure to properly cool the dish before transferring it to an airtight container or freezer bag. When reheating, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and gently reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave until heated through. A little stock may be needed to loosen the sauce. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1711800370435\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can canned tomatoes be used instead of fresh tomatoes?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">While canned tomatoes can be substituted for fresh tomatoes, fresh tomatoes are preferred for their superior flavour and texture. Canned tomatoes may slightly alter the taste and consistency of the dish. If you do opt for canned tomatoes ensure you choose a good quality brand in a rich tomato sauce. <\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img

Even my partner, who never likes anything with pasta in, wolfed it down. Really easy to make, too. I didn't actually skin the tomatoes but they were fine as they were. I also used frozen onion pieces and it still tasted divine. Will definitely make again and share with all my SW friends.
