This could be called the “All American Tomato Chicken” as it appeals to everyone. This dish can be served with rice, pasta, noodles and creamed potatoes. -“Pasta is defined as shaped dough made of Durum wheat and boiled in water. … Basically, things like risoni or even fusilli are pasta, but not noodles. Spaghetti and fettuccine are both noodles and pasta. Rice noodles like ramen are noodles but not pasta” From cooking.stackedexchange.com
Cut the chicken into small pieces and remove the skin (removing the skin is optional). Season the chicken to taste with the salt, black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Sprinkle a little garlic powder in the flour. Coat each piece of chicken with flour.
