This chicken dish was fantastic CL! I am rating much more than 5 stars...I marinated the chicken overnight as stated, and baked it early the following morning, we had it for yesterday's dinner in the evening, great blend of flavors, I just love dishes with olives in them, I did use more garlic than called for (about 2 tablespoons!), otherwise, made as directed...we loved it, thanks for sharing another winner CL, I will make this again!...Kittencal:)

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
