Ingredients
- Just as tasty without the chicken if you’re not a meat eater (or simply can’t afford to buy it!)
- Pasta
- Sliced chicken breast (cheaper alternative: precook thighs/legs and tear meat off the bone then add at the end to heat through)
- Onion
- Peppers
- Fresh tomatoes
- Chicken stock cube
- Pesto
- Tbsp of tomato pasta sauce (can use the rest for tomorrow’s dinner 🙂 )
- Generous tbsp creme fraiche
Instructions
1. Cook pasta in salted water
2. Meanwhile fry onions until soft, then add chicken
3. Cook for a couple of mins then add rest of veg and fry until the chicken’s cooked through.
4. Dissolve the stock cube in a little boiling water, then stir it into the chicken with the creme fraiche and tomato sauce, then a spoon of pesto.
5. Add sauce into the pasta and eat! Yum!
Tip: Can add bacon, chorizo, mushrooms, olives, more veg, or parmesan on top… what’s great about this recipe is that you can shove in whatever you’ve got!
