Transfer the pasta to a microwave-safe bowl and cover it with hot tap water. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.

Prepare the chicken by sandwiching it between moist paper towels on a microwave-safe roasting rack. Microwave on Medium/500 watts/50% power for 7-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
In a 2-litre microwave-safe dish, combine green shallots and olive oil. Microwave uncovered on High/850 watts/100% for 1-2 minutes.
Combine the tomato pesto and cream, then simmer for 3-4 minutes on Medium/500 watts/50%.
Slice the chicken fillets thinly against the grain. Take the cream mixture out of the microwave, combine it with the chicken, pasta, and olives, and toss until well combined.
Microwave uncovered on Medium/500 watts/50% for 3-4 minutes. Serve with parmesan.
