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!"
