Here’s a main course my whole family likes, including the kids! Similar to a restaurant favorite, it uses canned artichokes and olives and a jar of sun-dried tomatoes. It’s so simple, I often leave the ingredients on the counter for my husband to fix. –Beth Washington, Ayer, Massachusetts

This is one of the family's all-time favorite Taste of Home recipes!! My 2 sons love to see this one coming! Wonderful collection of Mediterranean flavors. I do drain off quite a bit of the sun-dried tomato oil so it's not overpowering to the dish as a whole.

I make something similar with spicy turkey sausage instead of chicken. When I made it with chicken, I thought it needed more "zing" so I added 3 garlic cloves instead of the minced garlic and about 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Yum!

This makes a gigantic amount of food. Hope you have a huge skillet. The sun-dried tomatoes are so overpowering, I could not taste the garlic. I also added some chopped red onion but could not taste that either.

I make something quite similar, but I use a 15 oz. can of diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings and add some pepperoni.

This was OK but not great. I really didn't like the flavor. Maybe it would be better with about 1/2 the tomatoes.

It doesn't seem like enough pasta, but trust me, it is! It's also great with whole wheat pasta. I also added a bit more cheese. Great recipe.
