- Arrange the potato and tomato wedges around the chicken breasts and spoon the remaining basil mixture over the vegetables.
- Halve the olives and sprinkle them over the chicken and vegetables.
- Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- Serve with a tossed green salad and vinaigrette dressing, if desired.

Packed with flavor and extremely simple to make. I subbed canned whole tomatoes with basil for fresh and subbed dried basil for fresh and made it sans olives. A great rustic dish you can make when in a hurry. Thank you!
