I had some cooked chicken breasts and thought, what can I make with this chicken? That’s when I came up with the idea for a filling.

Next, add the chicken to the skillet and let it absorb the flavors from the mixture. Season with salt and spices to taste. I used paprika, cumin, and pizza seasoning. Let the mixture cool, then add the olives and chopped eggs.
