Creamy Tomato Basil Chicken

This dish was the perfect way for me to use up some of the tomatoes in my garden! Every year I plant less tomatoes, yet I always have more and more to pick. Luckily I LOVE tomatoes and can can the extra and make some sauce and soups to freeze for later too! I paired my creamy tomato basil chicken with some palmini noodles and sauteed those in olive oil and garlic. It was PERFECT! I used to be able to find Palmini noodles in person at my local grocery store, but not any more. Now I have to buy them online, but I love to have them on hand to add with dishes I would want a pasta/noodle with.
