Puttanesca is a wonderful piquant tomato sauce featuring the bold flavors of olives, capers and anchovy paste. Red pepper flakes add a nice, zippy flavor to this garlicky tomato sauce. If you like a little more heat, you can add more red pepper flakes as desired. It’s best to use chicken breasts that are the same thickness so they cook at the same rate. If necessary, we suggest that you lightly pound chicken to an even thickness. Serve this delicious dish with a Caesar salad.
