Quick Chicken Puttanesca image

An Italian classic ready in 20 minutes, from Cooking Light. This version is different than similar Puttanesca recipes. The choice of ingredients and much quicker cooking time give a new twist to an old classic that makes it possible to have a tasty dinner even on a busy night when there is so little time to spend in the kitchen. To keep total cooking time at 20 minutes, chop the olives, onion, garlic, tomato and anchovy while the pasta and chicken are cooking.

The sauce was a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it more flavor.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use half the amount of olives and capers next time.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The salty capers, briny olives, and tangy tomatoes pair perfectly with the tender chicken.
