    Recipe



    In a nonreactive skillet, preferably nonstick, large enough to comfortably hold chicken in one layer (remember you have all those vegetables to add, too), heat oil over medium-high heat. Dust both sides of chicken breasts with are lightly browned but not quite cooked through. Remove to a warm place and tent with foil to keep warm.

    Add garlic and mushrooms to skillet and cook, stirring about 2 minutes. Add olives, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, salt, pepper, basil and oregano, and continue cooking and stirring, occasionally, 2 minutes. Add wine and let it reduce 2 minutes.

    Put chicken back into mixture and stir in beef broth. Add butter and keep stirring until melted. Reduce heat to medium-low and let mixture simmer about 7 minutes, turning chicken breast once. Divide pasta among 4 large heated serving bowls. Place a chicken breast on each and divide vegetable mixture among them.
