What is something simple (other than salt) that I add to plain chicken, pasta, and olive oil to make it tastier?
I want to keep it healthy, I have almost no cooking skills, and I'm a simple/basic eater (when it comes to tastes). I've thought about pepper or lemon pepper or Parmesan cheese, but I don't know if any of those go well with chicken/pasta/olive oil. Thank you for any assistance!

Cook your chicken however you like (which again can be as simple as a pan fry), make the pasta, top it with chicken. The past sauce will still be tasty if you decide to top off your servings with a squeeze of lemon juice and a grating of parmesan, and if you have parsley it's a good garnish in this too.
Additionally, you can try tossing in something like broccoli florets, or even some halved green or black or Kalamata olives or a few capers. If you like pesto, stir in a spoonful or two of that and it will add a great deal of flavor as well as the anti-oxidant properties of its ingredients.
