Low Carb Italian Chicken and Green Olives

This recipe will make you look so good! The red and yellow peppers with the green olives, in the rich creamy sauce, makes a beautiful presentation! I served it for company just the other night and my guests said, "you missed your calling in life, you should have your own restaurant." (It was really good) This recipe is #1 on my "company's coming" recipe list!
