Ready in: < 30 minutes

  • 8 ounces linguine or corkscrew pasta
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 can (14.5 ounce size) diced tomatoes with Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/3 cup sliced ripe olives
  • 4 teaspoons pesto sauce
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain.

Meanwhile, season chicken with salt and pepper, if desired. In a large skillet, brown chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat. Add undrained tomatoes, onion and olives, then bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 8 minutes over medium heat.

Remove cover and cook for about 8 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center.

Spread 1 teaspoon pesto over each chicken breast and top with cheese. Cover and cook until cheese is melted.

Serve over pasta. Garnish, if desired.
