If you have the items prepped beforehand you can easily make this during the week. Love it, mixed in artichoke hearts and left the chicken in the sauce. Yummmm…
Christy Dudley
Very good! My husband and I tweaked the recipe to suit our tastes. I will make it again! Easy too!
Robert Mcconnell
Very quick to make. Full of flavor not very saucy and We like sauce! olives give good kick.
Nancy Poole
Really wonderful! Great flavor. Really easy to prepare. I would make sure that you chop and prep all of the ingredients ahead as it takes no time at all to cook. I will add more water and cornstarch next time for a thicker sauce. We added the cooked pasta just before the chicken at the end to coat everything.
Linda Deleon
Absolutely loved it! Super-easy and delicious. Made with arancine and green beans for a beautiful Mediterranean feast! Will def make again. Thanks!
Richard Gonzalez
Made this today. Didn’t have the dry wine.. or the cornstarch…but it was still really good and creamy! Only took me about 10 minutes to make 🙂

We enjoyed this dish but everyone thought it needed something. The only changes I did was, skipped the olives since I didn’t have any, used boneless skinless chicken breats, and used parsley from a spice jar instead of fresh. It would have tasted better with mushrooms and onions in it. We had it over penne pasta. I made a whole 16oz. box and there was plenty of sauce without making extra. I’ll probably make this again with some added ingredients.
Shannon Gardner
Very good. Made this for our weekly girls night dinner and it was a hit. We added the chicken back in at the end and served with black rice.
Amy Decker
I was hoping that I would really like this, but I didn’t. The flavor of Italian seasoning was too strong. I would recommend cutting the Italian seasoning down to half the amount or even less.

Yum! This was SO good. Even my picky hubs raved!!! 🙂 I’ll admit, I wasn’t sure I was going to like this at all…. I am not particularly fond of olives, sun-dried tomatoes (I can take or leave them) or tangy sauces, but the combination of all three really works here! To my surprise, the sauce was not tangy in the least!!! Having said this (and although tasty as is), I think I’ll use capers from now on. Pair this with a simple Greek salad, farfalle (i.e. bow tie) pasta and crusty french bread or rolls and you’ll have a fantastic, well-rounded Mediterranean-themed meal. Thanks SO much for sharing your uniquely delicious recipe, hike4diamonds! My husband and I DEVOURED it! 🙂

Oh wow, it caught me off guard by its simplicity. Very subtle yet complex flavors. We will definitely be making this again soon. I’m thinking that the sauce might be adaptable to a seafood medley.
Samantha Campbell
Flavor is good but kids did not enjoy.
Timothy Lindsey
I love the flavors, I sub the cornstarch with nutritional yeast for more flavor and thickened the sauce perfectly. I served over cous cous with grilled eggplant.
Terry Lane
WOW – was this good. I didn’t know what my kids would think of this, especially with the olives in it..but we all loved it. It definitely has a mediterranean fresh and zingy taste but oh so good. This is a keeper.
Tanya Harris
Awesome!!!! I made this over creamy risotto….phenomenal! And heating it up for a pita sandwich with arugula, feta & cilantro is just Yummy.
Tina Garcia
Very tasty. The sauce came out great – perfect thickness for this recipe. I omitted the olives and added peas instead. Made a 2nd time a few weeks later and added a half cup of golden raisins instead of olives to give it some sweetness and that came out well too.
Carlos Mcguire
So Wonderful! We actually fought over the leftovers! Will be making this again!
Paul Davis
Really great meal! I’ll add more seasonings next time (did not follow recommended amount, just winged it!). Will be making again- in fact it’ll be a go to meal in our house! We served it with angel hair pasta and some pan grilled zucchini! YUM!!!!
Emily Reed
This was so flavorful! I didnt add as much chicken as the recipe states. About a lb. of chicken to this recipe is perfect for us with the amount of sauce. I served this over penne pasta. We arent olive lovers, so I know it probably defeats the whole “mediterranean” purpose of this recipe but I left them out and added onion instead. At the last minute I noticed that my sun dried tomatoes were expired. I happened to have some sun dried tomato pesto, so I used that in place. It gave the sauce so much flavor and next time I will probably add in the pesto again, along with the sun dried tomatoes as well. With the sour cream, I added in a little chunk of cream cheese to melt and make the sauce nice and creamy. While eating it I thought that it would be good by adding some crumbled feta cheese on top when serving. Great recipe! We loved it! Thanks so much!

It’s not terrible, but it needs something. Somehow the flavors get drowned out.
Monique Thomas
Loved it! I also doubled the sauce like many other reviewers. Otherwise, made it as written. Served with Mediterranean Black Olive Bread. Perfect meal.
