Tasty, hearty, and easy! I made a vegan version with seitan instead of chicken. Could barely tell the difference. I also added a splash of wine and some more tomatoes as per others' suggestions.

I tweaked this a little I had only one can of diced tomato so I added Barilla marinara sauce. I also used Wheat Penne pasta. We loved it! This would be good as a Seafood pasta as well...just replace the chicken with shrimp, Clams, and/or scallops

I made this today for dinner and it turned out great for my taste. I skip the black olives and used fresh mushrooms and tomatoes. I also used a can of cream of chicken and mushroom and a little bit of white wine and butter. I seasoned the chicken with oregano, garlic powder and seasoned salt and sautéd it with fresh garlic. Sprinkled it with fresh chopped parsley.Very easy to make. My daughter loved it.

Super easy - turned out great. Makes a LOT ... it's just me & my husband, so I'm going to freeze half for later. Followed recipe pretty closely, but added 2 small cans of tomato sauce, chopped garlic, and a 16-oz package of rotini pasta instead of angel hair. Will definitely make again.

As written, this is a bit bland and boring. A few tweaks make all the difference. First, you will get the most flavor by using real garlic (I used three cloves and minced them) and real mushrooms. I also used basil as the herb for this dish which is a must. Additionally, I sliced up an onion and browned it along with the chicken, garlic and mushrooms in a little bit of olive oil. The black olives are optional in this dish. I love them, but my family doesn't so I left them out. Once I made these changes, this dish, still simple and quick, was quite tasty and a family favorite. Also please note that you can use any pasta your family enjoys. I love angel hair pasta, but my hubby loves a heartier pasta, so I often make this with penne. Just go with what you and your family enjoy!

I made the recipe as directed and although it was fast, it was not very tasty, sort of bland, sorry, but will not be making this again.

I don't boil angel hair pasta for 8-10 minutes-- 4 minutes max! It is pretty bland unless you do some extras to liven it up...peppers/onions/fresh garlic/fennel/pepper flakes.
