I border on having an obsession with seafood. If I could eat it every night I would. (I have over 60 seafood recipes listed on this blog alone!) But I apparently have caused my boyfriend to be “fished out” so I decided to make a chicken dish with another favorite ingredient of his: olives. Pasta Puttanesca normally includes a tomato sauce with olives and capers. This Cooking Light version of Chicken Puttanesca is simplified to make it easy enough for a weeknight dinner.
- 8 ounces uncooked angel hair pasta
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups tomato-basil pasta sauce
- 1/4 cup pitted and coarsely chopped kalamata olives
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/4 cup (1 ounce) pre-shredded mozzarella cheese
- Chopped fresh basil
