Chicken and pasta in a tomato sauce with peppers and calamata olives, what's not to like? All you need to serve with it is a fresh salad and some toasty bread. This recipe happened one night when I was looking at some chicken breasts and wondering what to do with them. It was one of those spur of the moment recipes that made my husband say, "Write that one down!"

How To Make pasta with chicken, peppers and olives

1
Bring a pot of salted water to boil and add the pasta.

2
Saute the chicken in a little olive oil until slightly browned. Remove.
3
Add onion and garlic to the pan and saute until tender.
4
Add everything else to the pot and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken back in.

Drain pasta just before it is done. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the cooking water to use if the sauce is too dry.
