This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some roasted chicken I had on hand and it turned out great.

The chicken thighs were a bit tough, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt when making the sauce.

The chicken thighs were a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend adding more oil or butter to the pan when cooking the chicken.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken thighs were juicy and flavorful, and the olives and basil added a delicious Mediterranean flair. I served it with roasted potatoes and a side of steamed broccoli, and it was a hit with my family.
