Ingredients:
Instructions:

- While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

- Cook for 3-4 minutes, letting the tomatoes soften slightly.
- Stir in the dried oregano, fresh parsley, lemon juice, and olives.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and gently toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the sauce and ingredients.

Tips:
- Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
- Make sure not to overcook the chicken; keep it juicy and tender by cooking just until it's no longer pink.
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice will elevate the flavors more than bottled lemon juice.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute regular pasta with gluten-free pasta.
- Using a variety of tomatoes, such as heirloom or grape tomatoes, can add different textures and flavors to the dish.
