8 ounces linguine or corkscrew pasta
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon olive oil

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.

Serve over pasta. Garnish, if desired.
