Instructions:
-
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast halves, allowing them to sizzle and brown to perfection. Once browned, remove the chicken and set it aside, letting the juices infuse.
-
Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, introduce the Italian sausage, green pepper, and minced garlic. Let them dance together, stirring occasionally, until the sausage achieves a tantalizing brown hue, and the green pepper becomes tender, releasing its vibrant flavors.
-
Spoon off any excess fat. Now, introduce a delightful blend of soup, water, tomato sauce, and Italian seasoning to the skillet, creating a tantalizing symphony of flavors.
-
Heat the mixture until it reaches a boil. Reintroduce the reserved chicken to the skillet, lowering the heat to a gentle simmer. Cover and let it cook for an additional 6-7 minutes, ensuring the chicken is no longer blushing pink, with occasional stirring to ensure an even infusion of flavors.
-
Prepare a cornstarch mixture. In a small bowl, mix 1 1/2 tablespoons of cornstarch with an equal amount of water, creating a smooth paste.
-
Introduce the cornstarch mixture into the simmering sauce. Witness the magic as the sauce thickens, each stir an ode to culinary finesse.
-
Serve the delectable creation. Whether over hot cooked noodles or a mound of rice, this dish is a celebration of textures and tastes, a testimony to the harmony of simple ingredients.
