Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Spaghetti

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the diced tomatoes, marinara sauce, green olives, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for another 5-10 minutes, letting the flavors meld.

  5. 5

    Mix with Pasta

    Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss well to coat the pasta with the sauce. Remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot, topped with grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
