Chicken with Tomatoes and Kalamatas

We had some leftover chicken thighs from a meal we had last night. I decided to make something with a Greek flair to it. The result is a delicious meal with moist chicken and a fabulous sauce. The only fault my husband found was that there were not enough olives in the dish. So if you are an olive person please feel free to double up the olives.
