Great recipe for a new Keto’er. No anchovies and used some tomato sauce as I didn’t want to open a new can for so little. Wife moved it too!

A big favourite. Always omit anchovies and add different vegetables, keeping Keto in mind.

Delicious, but no anchovies, substituted chicken broth for Knorr Chicken Stock Pot - not gluten free. I don't know how to edit recipe.

I used fish sauce instead of anchovies, and rice vinegar delicious

I used skinless chicken breasts as I had them on hand. I don’t like anchovies but used then anyway; so glad I did. Very pleasant taste and not at all fishy when cooked as recipe states. I cut the breast up in chunks after it finished cooking and prior to adding the black olives. This is hearty & delicious!! I ate it on 3 consecutive days. My boyfriend who isn’t on Keto, ate it with white rice and loved it.

I used 2lbs raw boneless skinless chicken thighs for 4 servings. I found the sauce reduced really fast and I wasn't able to cook the chicken much more after adding the olives. I also added the fresh basil into the sauce because I'm not really into garnishes. But it was super yummy!

I made this tonight. It was really good. I didn’t have any anchovies so I had to leave them out. The balsamic vinegar really adds a nice flavour and I love olives. Will make this again.
