The sauce makes a lot, so you could even half the sauce, but its also great to eat the leftovers with a fresh baguette.. bread and bruschetta my favorite! 
*Both me and Jeremy loved this recipe, I served it over whole wheat penne noodles and with steamed brocolli. It was very delicious. The boys don't love chunks of tomatoes so I served the boys just the grilled chicken and the noodles with a little margarine and parmsean cheese and brocolli. They gobbled it up.
Ever since Jeremy has been trying to lose weight (down 28lbs) now! Yea! I have been trying to find new healthy recipes, especially those low on salt and canned food and I came across this site, www.skinnytaste.com It has awesome recipes, like this one. I use it all the time. Enjoy!
