Chicken And Penne Pasta With Kalamata Olives - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Preparation

Cut white meat chicken up into 1-inch pieces.
Pit the kalamata olives and cut each olive into 3 or 4 pieces.
Chop or slice garlic.
Cut the basil leaves into strips.
Begin heating a large pot of salted water to boiling.
When water begins to boil, add pasta.
