Instructions
Trim and finely dice with a knife, or use a food processor, the onion, carrot, and celery. Add veggies to Dutch oven or deep pot with canola oil. Cook on medium heat for approximately 5 min, until veggies are soft.
Add garlic to the pot and cook 1 min more, until fragrant.
Add chicken, redpepper, black pepper, salt, and Italian seasoning to the pot. Cook until chicken is thoroughly cooked, 5-7 min on medium high heat.
Place tomatoes in the pot. Once bubbling, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10 min stirring occasionally.
After simmering add chopped basil and baking soda. Stir well and simmer for 5 more minutes.
Serve with your favorite pasta, parmesan cheese, and a little more basil if desired.
Notes
TIP: Baking soda neutralizes some of the acids in the sauce and gives it a sweet taste without adding sugar or standing over the stove all day.Not sweet enough? Too sweet? Add more baking soda pinch by pinch if a sweeter taste is desired. If you accidentally add too much baking soda and your sauce is too sweet, add an acid such as white vinegar to the sauce, to regain flavor.STORAGE: Store any leftovers in an air-tight container, in the refrigerator up to 3 days. FREEZE: If you prefer to freeze leftovers or meal plan, this can be frozen for up to two months.
