Chicken Cacciatore Pasta

I had a ziplock bag of Chicken Cacciatore in the freezer. There were only a chicken leg and a small breast. Not enough for dinner, so I built on that and made a tasty dish. I pulled the meat off the bone, shredded it, and added it to the sauce from the freezer bag. The recipe for the original Chicken Cacciatore is at the bottom of this post.

I had a container of Marinara Sauce that I had made with the tomatoes from my sister's garden. Added the sauce to the pot. 

I boiled fettuccine noodles and topped them with the sauce. Mmmmmm. 

Rave reviews from the other side of the table!
