Tips
- Start with minimal crushed red pepper flakes and add more after tasting. You don’t want to accidentally make this too spicy.
- Careful not to overbake the chicken or it’ll become dry and rubbery.
- I find that San Marzano tomatoes have to perfect amount of sweetness. It’s worth the extra dollars!
