Taco Chip Chicken

4 (3 oz.) skinless chicken breasts
1 C. chopped scallions or onions
1 C. chopped red pepper
1/2 C. chopped celery
1 Tbsp. plus 1 tea. butter or margarine

4 taco shells, coarsely crushed

In a 1 1/2-qt. casserole, arrange chicken breasts with thicker parts toward outside of the dish. Cover and microwave on HIGH for  8 to 10 min., until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Remove chicken to plate and set aside.

In the same casserole, combine scallions (onions), pepper, celery and margarine; microwave on HIGH for 3 to 4 min., stirring once, until vegetables are tender. Add tomatoes; microwave on HIGH for 5 to 7 min., until slightly thickened.

Arrange chicken on top of tomato mixture; sprinkle evenly with coarsely crushed taco chips, cheese and olives. Microwave on HIGH for 2 min., or until cheese melts.

Serve with rice and a salad.
