1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, with juice
1 cup chili sauce  (about 9 ounces)

1 teaspoon basil 
1 teaspoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  4. Add the tomatoes with juice and the rest of the ingredients.
  5. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat to low. Cover skillet and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Serve over cooked rice or pasta. Use brown rice or whole-wheat pasta to include whole grains.
  • No chili sauce? Make your own sauce by mixing these ingredients:
    1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
    1 Tablespoon vinegar
    1 teaspoon packed brown sugar 
    1 teaspoon chili powder
