Chicken and Pasta Puttanesca

I used to be a "Lead Food Demo Specialist" at TJ's for 4 years and I compiled a list of my original recipes (300+) while doing demo.  Here is one such example.
Of course all of the
ingredients are TJ's and we know that TJ's is notorious for discontinuing items, so if there is an ingredient here that is no longer in the store...guess what???  IMPROVISE.....
Good Luck with this and
Buono Apetito
