This chicken and olive pasta recipe packs a lot of flavor. It is an easy chicken recipe, that I whipped together for lunch one day last week, using whole grain spaghetti, for added health benefits.

- Chop the sun-dried tomatoes and put in pan and add stock. Boil rapidly, while stirring until stock is reduced by half.
- Add pasta, toss, then add rest of ingredients back to pan and toss again.

Notes
*you can use use oil packed sun-dried tomatoes, I , rather than with stock would add them with the olives though
It’s funny because I’ve just recently acquired a taste for black olives and this sounds delish!
