Start by emptying the cans of chopped tomatoes into a good sized pan. That's a full portion of veg so if you serve this with another vegetable on the side it's a perfectly balanced and healthy meal.

Add the tube of tomato puree. This makes the sauce a little thicker and a little more flavoursome.

Next the magic ingredient - Worcester sauce. This give the BBQ sauce a real tang.

Add the same amount of balsamic vinegar to really heighten that mouth watering tang.

And then half a jar of BBQ seasoning.

Bring the sauce to the boil, it will smell delicious already.

While the sauce is boiling dice the chicken and divide it into equal portions. I'm using 6 dishes each of which should feed three people (or in my case two adults and two toddlers).
