Olive Garlic Chicken Pasta
Olive garlic chicken pasta is another one of our 30 minute delicious and simple recipes. It's as easy as grabbing up some olives, pasta, a bit of seasoning, garlic, and chicken. Put them together and you have another one of our 30 minute midweek meals. It's usually one of my Wednesday throw togethers. Serve it up with a garden salad and garlic bread and you have a restaurant style meal at home.
As I've said a hundred times, I love simple and easy 30 minute meals. I often call them the lazy person's midweek dinner. This olive garlic chicken pasta certainly meet this expectation. The great thing is, it comes out restaurant style.

Season the chicken with half the salt, pepper, chilli flakes, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
Place the chicken in a pan over medium high heat and fry on both sides until cooked through and browned. Set aside on a plate.
In the same pan add in the onion, garlic, remaining pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Saute over medium heat until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
