Simple Quick Pasta – Olives, Garlic, Tomato and Chicken

This is such a simple and tasty recipe.

Ingredients:

2 cloves minced garlic, Olive Oil, Tomatoes – fresh or canned, pitted calamata olives, 2 grilled or roasted chicken breast, pasta of your choice, Italian seasonings, and parmasan cheese

Steps:  (20-30 min meal)

1.  I take a couple cloves of minced garlic, with olive oil (you can use any olive oil and I somtimes use the oil that the olives packed in.  Especially if I have some herbed mixed olives in the refrigerator or pantry as that adds more complex flavors to the dish).
2. Grill a couple of chicken breasts that have been seasoned with pepper seasonings such as Lawry’s that doesn’t have added salt.  And then cut the chicken into bite size chuncks.
3. Boil some water and prepare your favorite pasta.
4. While the chicken is cooking and the water is boiling I add fresh or canned tomatoes, and 15-20 pitted calamata olives.  Add Italian seasonings. Heat through and then toss in the chicken while the pasta is finishing.
5. You can also top with a little fresh parmasan and add a vegetable on the side.  Here we roasted a little brocolli.
