This looks delish! I LOVE olives, but you're right, definitely chick food. A quick smile for you . . . when I was making the chicken spaghetti, I took a "home school" moment to ask my daughter where she thought the pimientos came from. "Mom! They come from the inside of olives."

This was so yummy, everyone loved it. I also used crostini. I omitted the butter completely, but added a block of cream cheese, and some mixed Italian olives from the olive bar. So good!
