This was really, really good. I was concerned about cooking olives so long because they are usually added at the end, but this was really, really good. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but will use chicken thighs next time because they are more flavorful. I used a medley of olives. This is a definite "keeper". Made for PAC Spring 2009.
